German teenager escapes prison sentence after raping a girl – woman who insulted him gets a weekend

German woman who insulted convicted rapist spends weekend in prison

In 2020, a 15-year-old German girl in Hamburg was raped by several men in a city park after attending a party.

After a lengthy trial, nine of the ten men were convicted under juvenile law.

The court had acquitted the tenth defendant, in addition to an earlier acquittal of the eleventh defendant.

However, a 20-year-old woman was recently given a harsher sentence when she spent a weekend behind bars for insulting one of the convicted men, who was never jailed.

A gang rape that shocked Germany

According to “Der Spiegel”, the teenager was sexually abused by several men in a Hamburg park on September 19, 2020.

The girl had been drinking at a party in the park, which had become a popular meeting place during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Four of the men first led the girl into a nearby bush and performed sexual acts on her against her will.

One of the men took advantage of her daze and stole her cell phone and wallet.

She was then exploited and raped by two other men.

The girl then continued walking through the park before three other men dragged her into the bushes.

According to a German news report, all of the men were under 20 years old at the time of the rape.

For this reason, they were charged under German juvenile criminal law and nine of them were convicted in November last year.

Only one man was sentenced to prison, spending two years and nine months in a youth prison.

The rest received suspended sentences of one to two years, EFE reported.

German woman jailed for defaming convicted rapist

In the latest development in the case, a 20-year-old woman was found guilty of defaming one of the convicted men.

According to the Telegraph, the woman had sent him a message via WhatsApp after the man’s contact details were leaked online on Snapchat.

She called him a “disgraceful rapist pig” and a “disgusting monster.”

Her weekend in jail was partly due to her previous conviction for theft.

She had also missed the court hearing in this case.

The woman later apologized to the man and said her actions “didn’t help anyone.”
