Suspected Serial Rapist Arrested in Hesse

A 43-year-old Chinese national is accused of assaulting multiple women during apartment viewings.

The suspect allegedly contacted victims through Chinese online platforms, targeting women renting out their apartments.
Four cases have been reported since January 2024, with incidents in Frankfurt, Mannheim, and Göttingen.
Authorities issued warnings on Chinese networks in September to prevent further attacks.
The suspect was apprehended in the Groß-Gerau district and faces a hearing before an investigative judge.
The investigation involved collaboration between local police, the Federal Criminal Police Office, and international law enforcement.
