Sensitive case in Tyrol – Police investigate sexual abuse among students

Date:

During a recent youth camp at a Tyrolean school, three twelve-year-olds allegedly sexually abused a peer. The sensitive case was discovered and the state criminal investigation department is now investigating.

The cause is already the talk of the day in the Tyrolean lowlands, but is otherwise hardly known. However, parents have now written to the media and the education directorate. Apparently because they are afraid that there will be no consequences. “We parents are simply afraid for our children,” they say.

The local police confirmed the news
What happened? At a recent youth camp, three twelve-year-olds allegedly engaged in sexual acts with their classmate. In response to a “Krone” request, the local police station confirmed a complaint, but the Tyrolean State Criminal Investigation Department took over the investigation.

LKA confirms this, but keeps a low profile
“From a victim protection perspective, we only confirm that there are investigations into sexual acts,” says LKA head Katja Tersch. There is currently no further information about what accusations are being made. “We are in the process of clarifying the facts. “It is not over yet,” Tersch emphasizes.

The incident is under investigation and students have been suspended
The Tyrolean Directorate of Education firmly rejects the parents’ accusation that they want to sweep the matter under the carpet. “Three pupils have been suspended with immediate effect until the end of the school year. The school psychology department has worked on the case with various classes at the school,” the statement reads. Furthermore, the school conference decided to submit an application to the Directorate of Education to have the three pupils expelled from school. However, the relevant procedure has not yet been completed due to the parents’ right to comment.

Child and youth care was also involved in this
Director of Education Paul Gappmaier also notes that his authority has also reported the case to child and youth welfare. The accusation against the three boys is serious. However, due to their young age, they cannot be prosecuted.
