	Former Norwegian Bishop Admits Child Abuse:church By Staff Writer Press Trust of India April 7, 2010 http://www.ptinews.com/news/598867_Former-Norwegian-bishop-admits-child-abuse-Church A German-born former Catholic bishop in Norway, Georg Mueller, has admitted sexually abusing a minor 20 years ago, the Norwegian Catholic Church said today. "The Catholic Church in Norway is in shock after it was revealed that former bishop Mueller of Trondheim, on Norway's western coast, admitted being guilty of sexual abuse of a minor and said that was why he left his post last year," the Church said in a statement. Georg Mueller, 58, who was born near Trier in Germany, stepped down as bishop of Trondheim last year, officially because he was unsuited for the work. According to the local daily Adresseavisen, which broke the story, the affair goes back more than 20 years to when Mueller was a priest in Trondheim. The victim was a choir boy, who is now around 30 years old, and has been paid damages by the Church.
