Saxony Police Probe School Workshop After Pornographic Images Shown to Ninth-Graders

The episode has prompted a police investigation alongside calls to tighten vetting of outside providers.

Overview

  • Police in Weißwasser are investigating two adult women on suspicion of distributing pornographic material to minors after a March 2026 workshop in Schleife, with multiple reports pointing to images from the Swiss magazine “Queer Sex.”
  • The school stopped the project on the first day, dismissed the external facilitators, informed parents, and reported the case to the Saxony school authority.
  • The Amadeu Antonio Foundation, which had given a small grant to the workshop run by the youth group Die Falken, ended funding and removed the project from its website.
  • Saxony’s school office said the approved plan did not signal any explicit content, found no misconduct by the school, and now plans tighter checks on outside providers.
  • Die Falken said a donated magazine with explicit images was included by mistake, expressed regret, and said the two workshop leaders no longer hold responsibilities.
