Scandal judges: as judge is abuse! Outrage grows!

In the past few days, several judgments in Austria have caused considerable controversy and outrage. A Syrian (21) who had committed sexualized attacks during a party against the will of two girls from Styria has now been sentenced to one year of unconditional imprisonment. Despite the clear rejection of the victims, he acted sexually attacked and attacked one of the young women several times. The court, informed by the actual demonstration of the crime by the public prosecutor, sentenced the man to a prison sentence, which he can serve with a ankle capacity in order to continue to pursue his employment, as krone.at reported.

At the same time, the acquittal of a 17-year-old Syrian who was accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in a parking garage shocked the public. The acquittal based on inadequate evidence caused violent discussions about the judge Martina Hahn, which in further cases fell as mild judgments. These prejudices were reinforced by their reasoning that it often occurs that a girl initially says "no", but then was convinced of affection, which many seemed inappropriate, reported Derstatus.at .

controversy for judgments

The case of the judge, who is known for her freely perceived judgments, throws a dark light on the case law, especially when dealing with sexual offenses. In the past, she already felled controversial acquittals, for example in a case where an 18-year-old man sexually abused a 19-year-old and had been badly injured, but was acquitted due to doubts about his guilt. The question of how such behavior can be maintained is circulating on social media, especially among a judge who works in this area and was faced with cases of sexual violence.

The persistent public debate about the laws, the application and the effects of such mild judgments has meant that the judicial systems are now under intensive observation. Again and again the term “cuddly justice” is brought into play - an indication of the perceived injustice that moves society and concerns.
