17. In 2011, the Austrian press published revelations that while he was a teacher at the school of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in Salzburg in the 1960s, Martin Adolf had repeatedly raped, sexually assaulted, and physically harmed a certain Victor M. Other students who were questioned in the case alleged that he had beaten them until they were bloody and, for one student, until he was unconscious. Martin Adolf vigorously denied these accusations.
