71-Year-Old in Vienna Abused and Raped: 39-Year-Old Convicted

The woman was awarded 7,000 euros in pain and suffering by a jury (Chair: Stefan Renner). The defendant agreed with the sentence, the verdict is already legally binding.

He was "partly guilty," the man had stated in his interrogation. "She hurt me psychosomatically. She hurt me interpersonally," he said about his motive. He had helped the woman some time ago "with the separation from her long-term partner" and subsequently with the move. Subsequently, he had lived the summer months with her in Vienna, the rest of the year in his home in Vorarlberg: "We had a good friendship plus. We were a team." However, when he did not come home on time on the night of September 7, she had painted over a two by three meter declaration of love, which he had painted on a wall in the form of a heart in connection with the woman's first name, with white paint. This had hurt him when he arrived at the apartment at 3:00 in the morning - impaired by the consumption of alcohol and cocaine.

Victim Tied to Chair with Cable Ties

According to the indictment, the 39-year-old initially punched the woman several times in the face after a verbal altercation, strangled her, tied her to a chair with cable ties, and cut off her hair in tufts. After he had loosened the ties, he thwarted an escape attempt by the 71-year-old, dragged her into the bedroom, and forced her to endure and perform sexual acts.

He had "made the biggest mess ever," the defendant stated. However, he then downplayed the incriminated actions. The public was excluded before the 71-year-old was questioned as a witness.

According to a psychiatric report, the 39-year-old suffers from bipolar disorder, but was sane at the time of the crime. His ability to control and act was possibly reduced, the expert stated.
