Eschwege: 76-year-old sentenced to 10,500 euros for stalking

A dramatic court ruling decided on Monday the meeting between a 76-year-old stalker and the judiciary in Eschwege! The man was convicted of his malicious deeds on his 74-year-old ex-girlfriend and SPD members after a total of three days of negotiations. With a fine of 10,500 euros (ten daily rates of 70 euros), he now has to bear the consequences of his erroneous behavior. This story hits waves far beyond the Werra-Meißner district!

The accused had targeted his ex-partner in a real attack on the defamation because he suspected that she had an affair with an earlier SPD member of the state parliament! After the separation in 2021, he wrote a flood of insulting letters, which he even sent to prominent politicians such as the SPD top candidate Olaf Scholz at the time. But the court made it clear: these attacks not only exceed the limit of acceptability, but also violate legal provisions!

judicial clarification and ex-girlfriend speaks out

The presiding judge Esther made it clear that freedom of expression is a high asset but must not be used to publicly carry out private conflicts. Despite the claim of the public prosecutor's office for a prison sentence and other payments, the judges drew a clear line on the matter! The defendant remains firmly convinced of his erroneous conviction of being cheated and plans to appeal against the judgment. "You can still go through so many instances," warned the judge, "but simply think about whether you can not use your resources better!"

Since the convicted of the convicted about data and evidence was refuted, the question of the future of his claims remains exciting. His ex-partner reported how stressful his jealousy had been over the years and thus focused on the absurdity of his allegations. A case that shows that jealousy can become a real drama!
