Adam Schlueter, Child Sex Abuse and Assault, Georgia 2026

In a disturbing case of abuse, Adam Schlueter, a 37-year-old former U.S. Army member, has been convicted of physically and sexually assaulting two minors while serving abroad in Germany. The heinous crimes took place between 2009 and 2013, when Schlueter was stationed in Grafenwöhr, Germany.

According to court documents, Schlueter physically, emotionally, and sexually abused the two minor victims, who were under the age of 10 at the time of the assaults. The victims described being choked and beaten by Schlueter, with one minor recalling being pushed through a second-story window and dangled above the ground at just eight years old. Schlueter also used threats to silence his victims and other witnesses, even going so far as to threaten to kill one witness.

The jury convicted Schlueter of two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a minor under the age of 12 and two counts of assault resulting in serious bodily injury. On July 9, Schlueter is set to be sentenced, facing a mandatory minimum penalty of 30 years in prison and a maximum penalty of life in prison.

The case highlights the devastating impact of child abuse and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable. As the investigation and trial revealed, Schlueter’s actions were not only a betrayal of trust but also a grave violation of the victims’ human rights.

The conviction serves as a reminder that no one is above the law, and those who commit such heinous crimes will face justice. The victims and their families deserve closure and justice, and it’s only fitting that Schlueter will face the consequences of his actions.

As the case moves forward, the community can only hope that justice will be served, and Schlueter will be held accountable for his crimes. The sentence he faces is a stark reminder that child abuse will not be tolerated, and those who commit such crimes will face severe punishment.
