In 2013, there was a concrete suspicion of assault against the teacher, who allegedly abused more than two dozen boys between the ages of nine and fourteen at a secondary school in Vienna. At the time, the teacher was even interrogated as a suspect by a criminal who has since retired.
The teacher was reported by a former participant in a holiday camp “in the Wolfgangsee area,” as Lower Austria police spokesman Schwaigerlehner explained to APA. The teacher worked there – reportedly with interruptions – from 1990 to 2010 as a counselor. The suspect’s questioning took place in Lower Austria, because the person affected by the abuse lived in the Baden district, Schwaigerlehner said. The attack is said to have taken place in 2006, the victim was 13 years old, according to “Standard”.
Information about the location of the ad is missing
What became of the ad is unclear at this time. It is certain that it has not been processed by the public prosecutor’s office in Wiener Neustadt, the spokesman for the public prosecutor’s office in Wiener Neustadt, Erich Habitzl, announced on request on Wednesday. Schwaigerlehner explained that she had been forwarded to another state – Salzburg or Upper Austria – because of the alleged crime scene at Lake Wolfgang.
The police are not allowed to know more. Due to the suicide of the teacher, who took his own life in April 2019 after a complaint was lodged by a former student, “we can no longer access the file for data protection reasons,” the police spokesperson explains.
According to the camp “no incident known so far”
The holiday camp facility told the APA on Tuesday that there was “no known incident that had occurred in our camps” related to the abusive educator. As an association that has been organizing holiday camps for children for more than 100 years, it is “a special concern to also provide support in our area and, if necessary, provide comprehensive information”.
The educator was not only a summer camp supervisor, but also worked for many years in leadership positions at Viennese sports clubs. He was president of a gymnastics club and accompanied children and young people to basketball tournaments.
