The retired clergyman – identified only as Thomas R., 58 – during his trial in Germany – will spend 32 months in jail for abusing three boys aged between 16 and 19.

He had also offered them to perverted clients 19 times for EUR 25 (GBP 2.5) and EUR 50 (GBP 43) a night in the bedroom of his flat in the city of Fuerth, Bavaria State.

Thomas R. who was dismissed from active church service on health grounds in 2015, had committed the crimes between 2019 and 2020.

In addition, the 58-year-old former holy man had recorded the sickening assaults with a hidden camera.

The court heard how he doped the teenagers with strong sedatives and instructed them how much they should charge the clients for their services.

Moreover, investigators discovered that Thomas R. had paid people on dating sites up to EUR 300 (GBP 260) to have sex with him.

His vile crimes were uncovered when cops searched his apartment in 2020 and caught him in an attempt to quickly flush about 250 child and youth porn recordings down the loo.

After four months in custody, Thomas R. admitted the crime and made four-figure compensation payments to several victims.

The District Court of Nuremberg-Fuerth sentenced him to two years and eight months in prison for forced prostitution and sexual abuse of young people on 29th April, 2022.

Thomas R. was also found guilty of violation of the victims’ private life, exploitation and production and possession of child and youth pornography.

The verdict was only recently announced by officials.

It stated: “He wanted to use them as a prostitutes, whom he ‘managed’ like a pimp or a brothel, and thereby generate income from renting out his bedroom to his escorts.”

Meanwhile, the Regensburg diocese leadership opened preliminary canonical proceedings and reported the case to Rome in October 2020.

If found guilty by the Pope, Thomas R. would have to renounce his pension entitlements and privileges.
