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.

    Yay!

    It doesn’t speak well for the convict if people are cheering when he (finally) starts his sentence, does it.

    Yay!

      I’m just waiting for Karl to show up and tell us he’s innocent.

        They railroad people in Europe too. The rate of wrongful convictions in the United States is estimated to be somewhere between 2 percent and 10 percent. Germany has a different system than the US, but the metoo mouthfoamers are active there also, so I’m sure that has led to many injustices.

        We just had a case here where a woman claimed to have been sexually assaulted in virtual reality. I wonder when they will start prosecuting cases like that.
