If you look at this regarding to pedophilia, which it was also, you'll come to the conclusion that not only Austria, but some other European countries have huge scandals because of this crime.
There was the Dutroux case in Belgium:
"According to the 2004 ZDF report 'Die Spur der Kinderschänder - Dutroux und die toten Zeugen' (The trail of the child molesters - Dutroux and the dead witnesses), 27 witnesses died in the period between Dutroux's arrest and the trial, in some cases under mysterious circumstances, including several investigators who were entrusted with the case and other people who wanted to testify against Dutroux. The public prosecutor Hubert Massa, the main prosecutor in the Dutroux trial, committed suicide in July 1999; the day before, he had allegedly received extensive powers to act from the Belgian Minister of Justice. He left no suicide note or other clues as to the reason for his suicide, and no comprehensible motive could be established. An autopsy was not carried out.
The entanglements led to various theories that Dutroux was by no means an individual perpetrator, but that he acted on behalf of a paedophile network which had connections right up to the highest Belgian government circles, including the royal family, and systematically prevented the case from being fully investigated. In January 2017, Belgian Anneke Lucas claimed to have been tortured as early as 1974 by a man who was later a co-defendant in the Dutroux trial and confirmed the alleged network's links to top officials and cabinet members. People involved in the investigation of the case also confirmed that investigations had been obstructed and that the case had still not been fully clarified."

Below is the documentary on YouTube of the case and 27 dead witnesses, among them several police officers, who should have shot themselves with their guns in the office. I've used deepl.com to translate the text under the video, since YouTube doesn't generate subtitles for this video? Why not?
Shortly Austria had a new scandal of pedophilia. The actor Florian Teichtmeister had collected tens of thousands of files with photos of sexually molested and raped children and even partly used the photos for his own alterations. This lasted from 2008 until 2021. During this period he stored the material on 22 data carriers - including two smartphones, two laptops, a desktop and three external hard drives.
He was found guilty but didn't go into jail and not even into a forensic psychiatric centre(!).
Teichtmeister schuldig gesprochen
As you see, contrary to the U.S., the juridical handling of pedophilia is very lax in some European countries.
And not to forget, that after the foundation of the German Green party (Die Grünen) in 1980, there were several high members who claimed that pedophilia should be allowed, if the child agrees to the sexual acts. Today the Green party washes it's hands of it, but a lot of people remember these claims.
Even today the Green party claims the early sexual education of children even at kindergarten at four years. They claim that for these very young children "masturbation rooms" should be established. Can you imagine now, how I despise this party?
I'm not surprised at all about what happens in Europe.
He had raped someone in '67. The story finally broke in 2008 after 24 years.
