A 55-year-old man was sentenced to twelve years in prison by the Graz Regional Court on Wednesday for the serious sexual abuse of three underage boys.

According to the prosecution, he allegedly abused his victims from 2001 until his arrest in 2023. He was also accused of producing photographic material. The defendant confessed, and the verdict is not yet legally binding.

55-Year-Old Sentenced to Twelve Years in Prison

The prosecutor limited his opening statement to a few sentences, as he did not want to elaborate on the details of the alleged acts. In addition to the abuse of the three boys and the production of photos with sexual content, the accused was also charged with injuring a police officer during his arrest. Furthermore, he allegedly killed twelve cats and several herons.

The defense attorney stated that his client had made a comprehensive confession. "He has recognized his inclination and is participating in a therapy program while in custody." He requested that the public be excluded from the trial, and the jury granted the request. The 55-year-old was sentenced to twelve years in prison and, according to the expert's recommendation, was admitted to a forensic-therapeutic center.
