Nuns allegedly sold children for sex
Inconceivable crimes in Speyer/Germany diocese
Women religious allegedly enabled priests to systematically sexually abuse boys and girls in a children's home in Speyer. A victim tells of gang rapes by clergy in court.
Religious sisters in Speyer have apparently left home children to several clergymen for sexual abuse over years. It may even be a case of murder to cover up the scandal, according to a ruling by the Darmstadt Social Court. The scandal was kicked off by Speyer Bishop Karl-Heinz Wiesemann with an interview in his church newspaper in which he assumes that former vicar general and officiant Rudolf Motzenbäcker was guilty of abuse in the 1960s and 1970s.
The Darmstadt verdict from May describes the dramatic childhood of a Mainz native born in 1957 from precarious circumstances who, after various stops, ended up at the age of five and a half in the children's home of the Niederbronn sisters in Speyer. He calls the time there a "time of constant abuse. He was raped 1000 times.
According to the descriptions, the systematic abuse began at the age of ten or eleven, when he was an altar boy in the Kaiserdom. The priest described in the verdict as the main perpetrator, by whom Motzenbäcker is probably meant, who was also his confessor, had repeatedly taken him to his apartment and penetrated him anally and orally. He had to kneel on a kneeler so that the prelate could penetrate him more easily from behind.
Once or twice a month he had to visit the priest. Help in the garden, for example, had to serve as a pretext for meetings. The nuns had "literally dragged" him to the meetings. Sometimes, according to the verdict, other priests also joined in; once, three priests abused him at once. All of them had penetrated him orally and anally and had "played their sex games" with him.
In addition, the victim reported psychological and physical abuse, such as being locked in the cellar and beaten. The nuns had "hit him with everything" they could get their hands on. This happened especially before and after rapes.
Friends and politicians also came to so-called sex parties, which took place every three to four months - between three and seven men between the ages of 40 and 60. Other boys and girls were also present at these "gang rapes."
Bloody bed sheets and a dead girl
The description given in the verdict: "There had been a room in which the nuns had served the men with drinks and food, in the other corner the children had been raped. The nuns had earned money from it. The gentlemen who were present would have donated generously." Afterwards the linen sheets would have been bloody, if sexual organs of the children had been torn open. Most of the children are dead today. Many would have killed themselves.
As a formative incident, the victim cites his contact with a girl a year younger than him, who had become pregnant after a sex party. He went with her to the police and other authorities, but was portrayed as a liar everywhere. Two weeks later, he said, he missed her at dinner and went looking for her. Finally, he said, he found her hanging in the attic. He did not believe it was suicide because there had been no means of ascent at the site. He suspects, the verdict says, that the girl knew too much.
He will never forget the face of the dead girl, he was broken by it inside. Several experts and the court have no doubts about the man's credibility.
The story came to light because the man wanted to claim help under the Victims Compensation Act. The court investigated. The Niederbronn sisters' contribution to the investigation is modest. Their abuse commissioner let it be known that there were no longer any documents on the whereabouts of children in Speyer. Sisters who had previously worked in the home could not confirm the plaintiff's allegations.
However, other affected persons confirmed the plaintiff's statements and incriminated Motzenbäcker. The diocese of Speyer paid the man 15,000 euros in recognition of his suffering.
