Trust teacher convicted of abuse: victims only showed themselves years later

A trust teacher was convicted of abuse of students after the victims only reported the teacher years later. The teacher exploited his position towards unstable young people to commit his actions. Ultimately, this led to him to have a prison sentence. It is particularly frightening that the perpetrator has made children's porn, which underlines the severity of the crimes.

The condemnation of this teacher sends an important signal to society that abuse cases are not tolerated and punished fairly. It is crucial that teachers and other authority people are trustworthy and take on their role responsibly. The protection of children and adolescents against all form of abuse must be a top priority.

The case of the abusing teacher from Bonn shows how important it is to be attentive and to recognize potential warning signals for abuse. The victims who brought the courage to show the teacher deserve recognition for their commitment to gain justice. It is of great importance that society is solidarity and supports victims of abuse to hear and support their voices.
