Church - Commission presents second report on the Dillinger case
On Wednesday (2.30 p.m.), the Trier diocese's investigation commission will present the second interim report on the case of the priest Edmund Dillinger, who was suspected of abuse and died at the end of 2022. The report was compiled by the former Koblenz Public Prosecutor General Jürgen Brauer and the former Deputy Head of the Trier Public Prosecutor's Office, Ingo Hromada, in a separate project for the commission.
The former Catholic priest from Friedrichsthal in Saarland is suspected of having sexually abused young people in particular for decades from the 1970s onwards and of having photographed them in sometimes pornographic poses. After the man's death, Dillinger's nephew found dozens of unframed slides in his house - and went public with them in April.
