Overview

• At the Landgericht Hechingen, the 42-year-old was sentenced to one year and eight months on probation for sexual offenses against students from the Sigmaringen area.
• Judges deemed the rape allegations involving a then-17-year-old unproven and lifted the arrest warrant in that count.
• He was convicted for groping a student during her first lesson, masturbating in a lesson with an 18-year-old, and an exhibitionistic act on his terrace.
• The defendant was released after roughly five months in pretrial custody and is to be compensated for the detention, and the verdict is not yet final.
• Prosecutors had alleged nine acts and sought eight years and four months in prison, and spectators expressed anger in the courtroom after the ruling.
