Study on the abuse of minors in the Archdiocese of Paderborn: results reveal spirals of cover-up |

For the period from 1941 to 2002, there is evidence of 210 accused and 489 victims. The names of 144 accused and 316 victims are known from Jaeger's time in office. During Degenhardt's term of office, there were 98 accused and 195 victims. Professor Priesching: "The figures should be seen as snapshots that allow statements to be made about the 'bright field' of sexual violence in the Archdiocese of Paderborn. In addition, a 'dark field' can be assumed, the extent of which can only be speculated about."

For my international followers. The university has released the results of a study on sexual abuse of minors. It was a systematic network.
And of course everyone knew this, and nobody inside the church cared for the victims

Der Missbrauchsskandal im Erzbistum Paderborn weitet sich möglicherweise aus. Kardinal Degenhardt soll während seiner Amtszeit (1974-2002) minderjährigen Jungen sexualisierte Gewalt angetan haben. Das erfuhr der WDR exklusiv vor der Veröffentlichung einer Studie der Universität Paderborn.
