Man Allegedly Abused Boys for Over 22 Years: Trial

The man is said to have assaulted the children, the youngest of whom was apparently only six years old. He must face the Graz Regional Criminal Court next week, confirmed Hansjörg Bacher from the Graz Public Prosecutor's Office on Monday, reports from "Kronen Zeitung" and "Kleiner Zeitung".

Abuse Allegations: Man Was Caught Over a Year Ago

The man was caught over a year ago. American investigators discovered depictions of child abuse uploaded by him. They informed the Austrian authorities, who conducted a house search of the 55-year-old in January 2024. Around 10,000 suspicious images and about 1,700 videos were discovered. When these were reviewed, it became clear that the suspect had also produced them himself, as the boys of his partners were visible in them.

On March 26, the defendant must face court. A commitment to a forensic-therapeutic center is also being requested. Additionally, the man must answer for a number of other offenses.
