Knapp drei Monate nach seiner Verurteilung wegen Vergewaltigung einer bewusstlosen Abiturientin muss sich der Angeklagte wegen weiterer Vorwürfe verantworten, die erst im ersten Prozess bekannt geworden sind. Der Angeklagte kam erst nach dem Aufruf der Sache in den Gerichtssaal.

Overview

  • The 38-year-old, already sentenced in July to five years and six months for raping a 20-year-old, is now facing new charges in Berlin based on recovered footage.
  • Two former partners, with incidents dated February 2020 and spring 2021, are participating as co-plaintiffs after police identified them from the material.
  • The court read parts of the indictment behind closed doors to protect the women's privacy.
  • Counsel criticized a three-year delay in fully examining the defendant's smartphone; police cite technical reasons and an internal review continues.
  • Investigators are still analyzing evidence that may point to additional, as-yet-unidentified victims, and the earlier verdict remains under appellate review, with the next hearing set for Monday.
