However, in December 2016 Seisenbacher failed to show up for his trial in court for two days in a row and instead fled the country, after which he officially became a fugitive from justice on worldwide warrant. While Interpol searched for him in Europe, Kazachstan, the United States and Dubai, Seisenbacher was able to remain on the run for 200 days. Considered dangerous, he was finally arrested by a SWAT team on August 2, 2017 in Kiev, Ukraine and was handed over to Austria on September 12th, 2019. The trial started on November 25th in Vienna, on December 2nd Seisenbacher was found guilty and sentenced to 5 years in prison.

After years of circulating rumors, in June 2014 a number of women filed criminal complaints against Seisenbacher for alleged sexual misconduct against them when they were still minors or children. On October 5, 2016, Seisenbacher was formally indicted by the Vienna Prosecutor's Office for statutory rape of two girls who at the time were less than 14 years of age, and for attempted sexual assault of one girl who at the time was 16 years old. The first indictment involved a girl who was 11 when in 1999 she allegedly was sexually assaulted at multiple occasions by Seisenbacher lasting until 2001; the second indictment involved the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl in 2004. The attempted sexual assault of the 16-year old allegedly occurred during a training camp in Croatia in 2001.

The formal indictment came after a lengthy judicial investigation following earlier police complaints filed in 2013 by several former pupils, as reported by numerous newspapers in June 2014.
