Viewpoints

Genital circumcisions

Jörg Scheinfeld assesses § 1631d BGB passed by the Bundestag in December 2012 , which allows circumcision of boys under certain conditions, as unconstitutional. On the fifth anniversary of the “Cologne verdict”, in 2017 he presented an expert opinion with federal judge Ralf Eschelbach and medical doctor Matthias Franz and called on politicians to act.

Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church

After the publication of the study Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests, Deacons and Male Order Members in the area of ​​the German Bishops' Conference and subsequent nationwide criminal charges on suspicion of sexual abuse of children (Section 176 StGB) and serious sexual abuse of children (Section 176a StGB ) he rated in May 2019 in the Neue Juristische Wochenschrift (NJW) in the article “Initial suspicion when reported against unknown persons. Clerical child abuse and the principle of legality "the reaction of public prosecutors and ministers of justice and drew the conclusion:" After all that, following the MHG study, there could only have been one correct decision for the public prosecutor's offices in the dioceses: to initiate investigative proceedings against unknown persons - thus the abuse of wards and minors as well as aiding and abetting can be punished. Instead, the investigation was refused, in some cases with inconsistent justifications, and this chance was frivolously wasted and accepted that evidence would be removed and destroyed. "
