Ex-police officer for serious abuse: 10 years in prison in Bregenz!

Bregenz, Österreich - A former police officer was sentenced to ten years in prison after serious sexual abuse of his two grandchildren was accused of. The attacks took place around 20 years ago in Bregenz and during vacation stays in Italy. The defendant, who is over 70 years old, denied all the allegations, including the accusation of having kept an unwinned revolver on his future, to have kept an uncharged revolver on the temple.

The spectacular case, which throws an oppressive light on family and social structures to a general public, shows the gruesome reality of sexual abuse. One of the girls concerned was only 9 years old at the time of the attack, while the other was 12 years old. The acts are said to have taken place in the accused's dwelling during the "afternoon sleep" and at a campsite in Italy. The Schöffensenat followed the argument of the indictment and spoke the judgment, which also included convictions for pornographic representation of minors and violation of the official secrecy.

Details on the allegations

The accused's actions were not limited to sexual abuse. During the investigation, image materials with representations of abuse of minors were also discovered. In addition, it turned out that the defendant had access to sensitive information as a police officer during his time, which led to the indictment of violation of the official secrecy. Crime scenes with body parts were obviously left around in his official apartment and showed other people.

During a house search in 2023, the investigators found two impact rings and full coat storeys in his apartment. The accused was also held responsible for unauthorized gun ownership. The conviction provides for a compensation of 11,700 euros in one of the victims and 1,800 euros to the other granddaughter.

social effects

The conviction has far -reaching consequences, especially since reporting on the case could increase awareness of sexual abuse, especially in family relationships. According to a study published in a press release of bioenergy, there is an alarming increase in cases of sexual violence, especially against children and adolescents. Such cases raise questions about security in society and within families. The case arouses particularly doubts about the faith about the family environment, in which a "patriarch" is often considered trustworthy, while the dark side remains hidden under the family's guise.

The judgment is not yet final, and the accused has the opportunity to make an appeal against the decision. Nevertheless, this case will probably continue to provide discussions about dealing with sexual violence and the protection of children in society.
