Largely confessed
Serious child abuse: Head of department on trial
Today, Monday, things are getting serious for a former head of office: he has to answer for serious child abuse at Ried Regional Court.
He is alleged to have used live chats to ask contact persons to perform sexual acts on very young girls in the Philippines in return for payment. The officer also allegedly demanded relevant photos and videos from young people and obtained and sent child abuse images via a messenger service. The offenses are said to date back to 2019.
With a five-year delay
The suspect was only arrested five years later - at the end of January 2024 - after the Upper Austrian State Criminal Police Office received the results of an investigation by US authorities. The man has been in custody ever since. If convicted, he faces five to 15 years in prison. In the course of the investigations, the accused largely confessed. A verdict is to be reached on Monday.
