Overview

  • The club issued a three-page Instagram statement acknowledging the September 29, 2024 assault described in taz and expressing sympathy for the victim.
  • Reporting says a stranger forcibly penetrated the woman with his fingers; she was taken to Charité, where a vaginal tear was diagnosed, and she later filed a complaint.
  • Operators say the night manager informed them the next day, assert guest safety is a top priority, and state they impose lifetime bans and call police in such cases.
  • Previously undercover teams worked on Saturdays, and the club now pledges clearly labeled Awareness staff at every party, including Monday nights.
  • The case followed earlier accounts on Resident Advisor and Reddit and renewed scrutiny of Berlin’s sex‑positive nightlife, with prosecutors confirming an ongoing investigation.
