In April, a 23-year-old woman in Baden-Württemberg was taken to a garden shed and raped several times over a period of 24 hours. The district court in Stuttgart sentenced the previously convicted perpetrator to nine years in prison. Further measures are planned.
After a brutal hostage-taking and multiple rapes of the victim, the confessed tormentor of a woman from Baden-Württemberg has to go to prison for several years. The regional court in Stuttgart sentenced the 36-year-old to nine years in prison, and the man is also being held in a rehabilitation center. He had largely confessed to abducting a woman into his garden shed for almost 24 hours and raping her multiple times.
In addition to taking hostages and particularly serious rape, he was also guilty of particularly serious coercion and dangerous bodily harm, said the presiding judge. The lawyer accused the previously convicted defendant of “unscrupulousness or a self-service mentality”. The man’s defense attorney showed understanding for the verdict. “My client rightly described the acts that we have negotiated here as atrocities,” he said.
According to the conviction of the court, the man had watched the 23-year-old at the time of the crime in April of this year on a dirt road near Reichenbach an der Fils, threatened with a knife and brought her to a hut. A search operation found the woman and arrested the fleeing man. He was charged with kidnapping, among other things. With its verdict, the court followed the request of the public prosecutor. Defense and co-prosecutor had made no specific request.
