Overview

  • In a three‑page Instagram statement on Wednesday, the club confirmed a rape occurred during a sex‑positive party in September 2024.
  • The woman told taz that a stranger forcibly penetrated her with his fingers on a Monday and that staff alerted police after she sought help.
  • Doctors at the Charité emergency department documented a tear in her vaginal wall, and she later filed a police complaint.
  • Management said it rejects sexualized violence, imposes immediate house bans on perpetrators, and calls in law enforcement.
  • Operators announced that awareness teams are now clearly visible at every event, including Mondays, with cloakroom, bar, and security staff described as consistently approachable, while cautioning that absolute prevention is not possible.
