	Canisius-kolleg - Ein Opfer Erzahlt By Joachim Fahrun Berliner Morgenpost January 30, 2010 http://www.morgenpost.de/berlin/article1247762/Canisius-Kolleg-Ein-Opfer-erzaehlt.html Schon bis Freitag hatten sich 22 Missbrauchs-Opfer bei Pater Klaus Mertes, Rektor des Canisius-Kollegs, gemeldet. Doch die Dunkelziffer konnte weitaus hoher liegen. Morgenpost Online hat mit einem 47-Jahrigen gesprochen, der noch heute unter den Folgen lebt. Nach jahrelangem Schweigen hat sich ein Missbrauchs-Opfer des Canisius-Kollegs an Morgenpost Online gewandt und Einzelheiten der systematischen Ubergriffe geschildert. Bis heute, so der 47-Jahrige, leide er unter den Dingen, die ihm an dem Elite-Gymnasium angetan worden waren. Drogenprobleme und eine gestorte Sexualitat gehoren zu den Symptomen. [summary] A 47-year-old victim of abuse at Canisius College, Berlin, after years of silence described details of systematic abuse at the school. He said he still suffers from abuse done to him while at the elite high school. He said he has had drug problems, relationship problems and sexual dysfunction. The man described as treacherous the methods used by the two accused Jesuit teachers and it was always the same. Peter R. would use psychological pressure on the adolescent boys. He would ask the boys if they thought of girls or whether they were masturbating. The student then had to show the priest their gentials. The man, who declined to be publicly identified, said they had to constantly expose themselves and be touched. The priest named Wolfgang was popular with students. Those who achieve good grades were promised a meal at a restaurant. Those who achieved poor grades had to lay naked on his knees. The man said there were always rumors of abuse at the school but no one stopped the abusers. He added that some of the clerics at the school had treated them well and he thought they did it because they knew what was happening and wanted to comfort the boys who were being abused.
