Man abused 114 children
Police in Bern said the abuse took place in nine different care homes where the man worked as a therapist since 1982.
The head of Bern police’s special investigations unit, Gabriele Berger, said evidence includes photos and hours of video recording the abuse.
Police say the man was arrested at his home in April 2010 and has been in prison since then while the investigation continued.
The man admitted sexually abusing 114 children with mental disabilities, some of whom were also physically impaired, police said. He also admitted eight further cases of attempted abuse.
“One of the central questions of this investigation is how such levels of abuse could go undetected for so long,” said Berger.
