A Catholic priest in the German town of Krefeld
has been sentenced to six years in prison on 25
counts of child abuse, the District Court said on
Friday.
The 56-year-old priest, whose name was
withheld due to privacy considerations, sexually
abused his godson and the boy’s brother on
dozens of occasions, with the court finding proof
for 25 of those .
The judge’s six-year sentence exceeds the
sentence of five-and-a-half years that
prosecutors had originally sought.
