The state court in Hildesheim in the northern state of Lower Saxony found that the woman had offered her teenage daughter, then 16, for sex online over a period of six months.

During the trial, the mother admitted to the charges, the court spokesman said, while the boyfriend contested the case.
The fact that the crimes were committed against the woman's own children led the judges to impose harsher sentences, he added.
The hearings were held behind closed doors because of the victims' young age.
