Girls Allegedly Sexually Harassed at Vienna's Laaer-Berg-Bad

The Vienna police are investigating five men who allegedly sexually harassed four girls aged 15 and 16 on Sunday at the Laaer-Berg-Bad in Favoriten. The suspects approached the teenagers in the wave pool, surrounded them, and attacked them. The girls then went to the lifeguard, who alerted the police, according to the authorities on Wednesday.

In one case, the harassment by the men went so far that there is even suspicion of rape. Officers from the Ada-Christen-Gasse police station located two of the suspected perpetrators still in the swimming pool. A 31-year-old and a 41-year-old Bulgarian are under suspicion, both of whom denied the allegations. They also claimed not to know each other, even though they apparently visited the same lounging area.

The assault occurred around 2:15 PM. The men were reported at large on suspicion of sexual harassment. The search is ongoing for the three other suspects. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office, South Branch, has taken over the investigation.
