The former rector of the Munich Academy of Music has walked free from an Austrian prison after serving 20 months of a long-delayed sentence. Siegfried Mauser, now 69, was convicted of sexual acts against colleagues and job-seekers.

He was supported by several music giltterati and is now planning more legal action in an effort to clear his name.

    The sexual abuse tolerated in German conservatories for decades is a disgrace. And Germany is hardly alone.

  • Henry williams says:

    It costs money to keep people in jail.
    They let them out early.

  • Silent Messenger says:

    He was definitely not the only one in Munich. There was (until very recently), a Professor who loved misbehaving with younger male students.
