Schult was imprisoned during the 1980s for "homosexual crimes against children and adolescents", at a time when sex with minors was prohibited only for homosexuals. A petition for him to be released due to his health complications was signed by 4,500 people, including Helmut Gollwitzer, Heinrich Albertz, Volker Schlöndorff, and Bundestag member Rudolf Schöfberger.[3]
