The pianist Siegfried Mauser, former rector of the Munich Music Academy, presented himself today at an Austrian jail in Puch-Urstein to begin a sentence of two years and nine months.

Mauser, 67, was convicted of sexual assault against several colleagues and staff members at the Munich Academy.

He ran out of appeals in January 2020 but continued dodging jail until today.

He is a holder of the Austrian Cross of Honor and the German Federal Cross of Merit.
