Bogus Sex Abuse Allegations lead to Retirement of German Bishop
Germany
Bogus allegations lead to the retirement of Bishop Walter Mixa of Augsburg. Pope Benedict accepted his resignation on May 8th amidst a furious media attack against the bishop. Mixa was accused of physical abuse of children, financial misconduct and sexual abuse of a minor. In the meantime, all three accusations have been proven false or contradictory. Last Friday an investigation of sexual abuse allegations was dropped. The diocese of Augsburg had referred them to prosecutors without prior contacting the alleged victim who later categorically denied any wrongdoing of the bishop. The bishop was one of the few German bishops who defended Catholic positions. He was also known for attracting many seminarians.
