[summary]

The Innsburck diocese said two cases of sexual abuse of young people have been reported in the last two years. Hans Tauscher, ombudsman for sexual abuse and assault victims in the diocese, said victims asked for assistance in getting therapy for dealing with the incidents and it was given to them.

Ombudsmen were established in all Austrian dioceses after allegations were made against the late Cardinal Hans Hermann Groer of Vienna. According to the Vienna archdiocese, 17 cases are known in that archdiocese. Incidents of sexual abuse have also been reported in Graz, St. Polten, Linz, Salzburg and Eisenstadt.
