Ulrich Weber, the lawyer representing the alleged victims from the Regensburger Domspatzen boys’ choir in Bavaria (which traces its roots to the year 975), said the longtime head of the cathedral choir, Georg Ratzinger – (brother of former Pope Benedict XVI-RATzinger ) — must have known of the numerous cases of sexual and physical mistreatments as he was the head of the prestigious choir from the mid-60s to the mid-90s — during the period of almost four decades of sex abuses. Weber said, “After my research, I must assume so.”
Weber said, I have here 231 reports of physical abuse…. 50 victims spoke of 10 perpetrators…victims could go up to 700 because at least every third child out of the 2,100 pupils in the choir and an attached school suffered and had been subjected to physical violence. These ranged from beatings to food deprivation, sexual assault and rape. However, the actual number of victims could be much higher.
