Charges Against Several People for Sexual Offenses Against Twelve-Year-Old in Vienna

Nine adolescents and a young adult are said to have forced a minor girl to have sexual intercourse. According to the indictment, the victim repeatedly stated that she did not consent to the actions but did not resist out of fear of physical inferiority. The accused deny the allegations and claim everything was consensual. A trial date is still pending due to the indictment not yet being legally effective, confirmed a spokeswoman for the Vienna Regional Court. The judicial processing of the case is therefore likely nearing completion.

Ex-boyfriend convicted of sexual offenses, two acquittals for other accused

In March, investigations in this context revealed that there were no - as reported in the media - gang rapes by the ten-member group. Previously, two individuals originally suspected of rape were acquitted in a legally binding decision in a trial at the Vienna Regional Court. The now 18-year-old ex-boyfriend of the young girl was meanwhile convicted on March 24 in another trial for the sexual abuse of minors, coercion, and possession of a pictorial representation of sexual abuse - according to a spokeswoman for the Regional Court now legally binding - to 15 months of suspended imprisonment.
