German Priest Suspended, Investigated over Child Porn Images PR-Inside June 3, 2008 http://www.pr-inside.com/german-priest-suspended-investigated-over-r622680.htm BERLIN - A prosecutor says a Roman Catholic priest in Germany is under investigation after child pornography was found on the hard drive of his computer. Prosecutor Reinhard Baumgart said Tuesday an investigation of the 49-year-old was opened in December and he has been suspended by the church. He confirmed a report in the regional daily Westfalenblatt that some 250 pornographic images of children were found on the man's hard drive. The priest from the northwestern city of Bielefeld was not identified. The archdiocese of Paderborn says the church will base any action against him on the outcome of prosecutors' investigation. |
