Five months probation – Dentist Linz (60) convicted of child porn

Date:

According to the public prosecutor, a doctor from Upper Austria possessed a “huge collection” of child pornography. The dentist would also have filmed employees in the dressing room of the practice. His lawyer wanted to be acquitted anyway…

The dentist, who had already been sentenced to five months in prison and a fine for passing drugs on to minors in August 2021, was given an additional five months in Linz on Wednesday. According to the public prosecutor, the now 60-year-old possessed a “huge collection” of child pornography. In his practice, he also secretly filmed employees changing clothes. The verdict is not final.

set up mobile phone
The prosecutor accused the doctor of placing a cell phone in the dressing room of his practice in July and August 2017. Due to the orientation of the camera, he would have had a view of the genital area of ​​the secretly filmed employees. He kept at least eight of these videos on data carriers before they were protected last February.

10,000 porn images
In addition, researchers found about 10,000 porn images when evaluating data carriers — 400 of which would show girls under the age of 18 or 14. Since the year 2000, the dentist had stored the files in question on various external hard drives.

Probably no idea
The defendant – whose practice has since been closed – protested that he was not aware of the existence of the child pornography. The doctor did not deny the secret recordings in the dressing room. However, he only took the cell phone recordings to clarify the disappearance of money from the coffee till at the reception. For the prosecutor, this was a “far-fetched attempt at justification,” as he emphasized in the closing argument. The suspect was concerned about seeing “as much bare skin as possible”.

nullity complaint
The judge found the dentist guilty on both counts and imposed an additional sentence of five months in prison. The defense attorney immediately announced a nullity complaint and appealed.
