A prominent German drag queen who frequently rubbed shoulders with celebrities and politicians is being investigated for possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material. Jurassica Parka, 46, has been named as the subject of an ongoing operation by Berlin authorities.
The Berlin public prosecutor’s office confirmed that police searched Parka’s apartment in Schöneberg in early July 2025 after a tip from the US-based National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) linked the entertainer’s IP address to suspected child-pornography access and storage.
Police have since seized Parka’s electronic devices for forensic analysis, but no formal charges have been filed to date and details are limited at this stage as the investigation continues.
In a video statement posted on Instagram, Parka, whose real name is Mario Olszinski, confirmed that he is under investigation for an alleged online offense but was vague and offered few details about the nature of the accusation.
In the video, he described “a period last summer” marked by “crashes” and “a loss of control,” adding that he has since entered therapy and suspended his stage performances. Comments on the post were disabled.
Parka has been a household name in Berlin’s gay performance community for more than a decade and has previously held the title of “Miss Christopher Street Day” at Berlin’s annual pride event. He has also acted as a “Queer Berlin Ambassador” for the tourism campaign by Place2Be Berlin, officially representing the LGBTIQ scene in the city.
As a result of his prominence, Parka has been photographed rubbing shoulders with top politicians and celebrities in Germany, and frequently gets invited to influential entertainment events.
Despite the fact that Parka identifies as a gay man, most German-language news outlets referred to him using feminine pronouns.
In a 2015 interview, Parka explained that the “the urge to wear women’s clothes has always been in me,” and described childhood memories wearing his grandmother’s clothes. In that same interview, Parka claimed that wearing women’s clothes was a way for him to “express” himself.
“I have for myself found a channel through which I could release energy, immediately I was hooked,” he told the interviewer.
At the time of the announcement of the criminal investigation, Parka hosted a talk show at the BKA-Theater in Kreuzberg and had been the head organizer for a party series at the club SchwuZ for over a decade.
