The abuse victim was just five when he joined the home run by the Order of the Sisters of the Divine Saviour in the German city of Speyer in March 1963. The victim said he was 'literally dragged' by the nuns to Motzenbäcker's apartment to be sexually abused, reports Der Spiegel. The victim said visitors to the children's home would abuse him at 'sex parties'. It was here that he said the nuns would pass youngsters aged between seven and 14 to clergymen, local politicians and businessmen. An internal investigation into abuse in 2018 revealed abuse involving 1,670 clerics and 3,677 victims between 1946 and 2014.
