Walter Johannes Mixa (born 25 April 1941) is a German prelate of the Catholic Church who is the Bishop of Augsburg and Ordinary Emeritus of the Bundeswehr.[1] He resigned as bishop of Military and Bishop of Augsburg on 8 May 2010 at age 69 after accusations he severely beat children at a Schrobenhausen orphanage in the 1970s and misappropriated the orphanage's funds. Mixa reportedly sexually abused minors, including an altar boy; the Office of Public Prosecution opened investigation which it closed, citing insufficient evidence. He was also accused also of sexually abusing seminarians between 1996 and 2005.[2][3]
