Vienna Boys’ Choir caught up in sex abuse
scandals
Roger Boyes, Berlin Correspondent of The Times
The most famous choir in the
world has been caught up in
the wave of paedophile
scandals sweeping Germany
and Austria, with eight former
choristers denouncing their
teachers in the past few days.
An open letter from the
management of the Vienna
Boys’ Choir to parents
expressed regret at the
incidents, which were
recounted by former singers
now aged between 40 and 70.
Angela Merkel, the German
Chancellor, called yesterday
for truth and clarity in
investigating paedophile abuse
not only in church institutions
but everywhere within the
educational system. “We all
agree that sexual abuse
against children is a
despicable crime,” she told
parliament.

was never a student in Aberdeen but went to the Union plenty of times to see punk bands or for cheap pints
many a Sunday night was spent in the Dungeon bar trying to keep pints upright on those copper dimpled tables |
