"It was curiosity"
Child porn files collected: Viennese man on trial
A 37-year-old Viennese man had to stand trial on Tuesday for collecting and sharing child abuse material on the internet and darknet from 2019 to August 2023. He distributed images and videos in a chat group with 627 members and almost 1,300 illegal files were found during a house search.
The previously blameless defendant confessed and was full of remorse. He described himself as introverted and led a secluded life with hardly any sexual experiences. The internet had been a kind of substitute for him, which brought him into possession of abuse material out of curiosity and fascination, although he knew that it was wrong. It was only the house search that made him realize the extent of his actions.
It was a curiosity. I was fascinated by it. I knew it was a bad thing.
der Angeklagte
The psychiatric expert Peter Hofmann diagnosed a pedosexual tendency with a focus on mother-child interactions and recommended placement in a forensic-therapeutic center to prevent further offenses. Conditional leniency was possible under certain conditions.
14 months probation and conditional admission
In the end, the 37-year-old was sentenced to 14 months probation and, on the basis of the expert's statements, committed to a detention center. The senate gave him a conditional discharge, although the man was instructed to continue therapy at a men's counseling center in order to combat his addiction.
