“I kind of slipped into it,” said the pensioner during his hearing at the regional court in Feldkirch (Vorarlberg), visibly bewildered by himself. It was a gradual process through the use of the internet. According to the public prosecutor, this took 13 years. During this time, the 62-year-old retiree downloaded thousands of photos and videos of abuse from the Internet. The victims, underage boys and girls, who commit sexual acts against themselves or others.
Initially, he watched completely legal, “normal” adult porn. Until at some point pages with children appear. “I was concerned with possession of the files, nothing else,” the suspect explained on Monday. He himself was never married or had children. And he never dwelt on the suffering of the victims, he told the judge.
42 hard drives seized
It wasn’t until the retiree was finally caught by the detectives in January and the police seized 42 hard drives containing relevant material from his apartment that he became so disillusioned. “I regret my actions and agree with the consequences of the court,” he finally told the judge.
He sentenced the “porn grandpa” to an unconditional fine of 2,400 euros. He also instructs him to go to sex therapy.
