I mean young."Each time when we were together he spoke about it because he was convinced that I was a paedophile."Brueckner is currently serving a seven-year prison term for raping an American pensioner in Praia da Luz. He is standing trial in Germany on unconnected sex crimes allegedly carried out in the Algarve between 2000 and 2017.
