GUILTY Austria - Woman Held Captive, Had 7 Children by Father

[bleuboy]

There is no need at all for the daily mail to write all that about where Elisabeth is now living. They gave that much of a description of the house and surrounding areas that anyone looking would be able to find her. She got a new identity so no-one should be putting her where abouts at risk. Its disgusting.

Krems, Austria — An Austrian man who had kept his daughter captive for 24 years and raped her thousands of times, fathering seven children with her, can be moved from psychiatric detention to a regular prison, a court ruled on Thursday. The decision stipulates that Josef Fritzl, 88, will have to attend regular psychotherapy and undergo psychiatric evaluations during a 10-year probation period at the prison, Austria Press Agency reported.

Darn it, I was hoping that this was an announcement that he was dead.

To be fair, if he's moved to a senior home, he should be in a dungeon there. Imo.

Realistically, even at his advanced age, he could still cause problems for other residents or staff, imo. Sometimes the worse parts of people's personalities emerge more as someone ages, develops dementia, etc. Imo.

IMO, wherever he ends up, the fact that he's there (given his crimes) will be difficult for staff and other residents.

I agree. It seems unfair to subject other seniors and staff to being around him. MOO.

He should be in lockdown, period, even if he's so disabled that he's no longer verbal or mobile.

If another patient's family members found out he was there, it could compromise everyone's safety.

Incestuous rapist Josef Fritzl is a “monster” and will never be allowed into Britain, James Cleverly said on Monday.

The Home Secretary was responding to reports that Fritzl wanted to come to the UK if freed from detention.

He tweeted: “This monster is never coming to our country.

“Any attempt to travel to the UK will be refused – as it would be for anyone convicted of serious sex offences like this.”

"Josef Fritzl, 90, 'no longer poses a danger'
but CANNOT be freed,
court rules:

Incest monster can be released from prison for the mentally ill
but must be held in regular jail still."

Josef Fritzl 'no longer poses danger' but CANNOT be freed, court rules

The depraved rapist can be released to a normal jail and no longer needs to be held in a high security facility for the mentally ill, the Regional Court of Krems announced today.

Hip hip hooray!

He's 90 years old. He has dementia. He belongs in the psych wing of a nursing home where the attendants can care for him.

What he did was very wrong -- but this story is more than just a little screwy. His wife didn't know for 24 years what was happening in the basement of her house? Come on. She raised three of her daughter's/husband's children.

I question whether he truly comprehends just what he did. Not remotely defending him, mind you. I just get the impression he doesn't see the magnitude of wrong in his actions.
As for his wife, imo there are spouses in this world who are that naive and trusting. JMO

This horrible crime happened so many years ago,
but I STILL remember it as if I read about this horror yesterday.

This was absolute scandal in my country,
the Media went berserk.

I honestly felt like vomiting reading the reports.
(My poor stomach is very sensitive)

I also remember when this news hit the Media, I was to go to Austria, Vienna, on a school trip, and for the first time in my life I was not happy to go abroad.

Terrible case.
I have not 1 iota of compassion for this evil perverted monster.

Good riddance!!!

Sounds like a re-hash / big nothing-burger.
There's nothing new in most German-language media (haven't checked it all of course) but first page of Googled news outlets - nothing beyond May or jUne 2024.

MOO

There may not be anything in Austrian media, I haven't checked, but there are quite a few stories from 12th February 2025 in British Media.

A few of them.

Evil Josef Fritzl to launch parole bid that could see him out of jail this year

Josef Fritzl, 89, is set to launch a bid for freedom next month and could be released from prison this year - having served just 15 years for his horrifying crimes

www.irishmirror.ie

Fritzl's legal team are set to submit a parole application and think the 89-year-old fiend stands a chance of walking free after serving merely 15 years for the atrocities he committed.

Maybe Austria is trying to protect the victims by not covering the latest news.

@TootsieFootsie
No, I haven't seen anything in German-language media (neither German nor Austrian) though I haven't checked Bild and other such abominably bad newspapers, which I would normally only use in print form for mucky jobs.

It might be reported in March when Fritz' legal team intends to act. Or maybe tomorrow, who knows. MOO

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I doubt that any of it is a rehash.
It's all very current and and it is new news.
