Marc Terenzi: Review in the event of abuse - process set!

Borna, Deutschland - Marc Terenzi, the American singer, has been responsible for serious allegations in recent years. He was accused of sexually harassing the 15-year-old daughter of his ex-girlfriend Anja R. in 2022. These allegations had not only heavily burdened Terenzi's call, but also his career. Today, however, it became known that the Borna district court in the Leipzig district stopped the procedure (AZ: 9CS431 JS 60102/22 JUG). According to oe24.at this was done with the consent of all participants and against the payment of a fine of 1500 euros to a youth welfare facility.

dr. Andreas Hohnel, Terenzi's lawyer, said that the decision to end the procedure was based on the long duration of the process. In a first trial in March 2024, the adolescent was not heard due to their possible inability to hear, which led to the establishment of a perpetrator-victim compensation. In June 2024, however, Terenzi withdrew his consent to emphasize his innocence in court. Anja R. subsequently expressed her disappointment about the delays and the associated psychological burden on her daughter.

an end with a financial compensation

Although Terenzi has been relieved of the allegations, the constellation remains stressful. He emphasizes that he was always innocent and that the payment only served to avoid a lengthy process. To improve his life situation, Terenzi plans to concentrate on his career in the future and avoid alcohol. By hiring the procedure, it is considered innocent and not a criminal record, which is an important step for him to realign his personal and professional goals.

In the context of Terenzi's case, it is worth taking a look at the legal framework of sexual harassment in Germany. On the basis of the bpb.de , sexual harassment according to the general equal treatment law (AGG) is prohibited as soon as undesirable, sexually determined behavior is injured. This includes forms such as sexual actions or comments that are perceived as annoying. This problem is not only important in the world of work, but also in other areas of life.

important legal indications

In addition, the Federal Court of Justice made it clear in a judgment of March 13, 2018 (file number 4 StR 570/17) that behavioral sexual actions are considered sexual acts in accordance with Section 184h No. 1 of the Criminal Code. It doesn't matter what intentions of the perpetrators pursue. One -off attacks can already be sufficient to meet the facts of sexual harassment. This shows how serious and far -reaching the legal handling of sexual assault.

Although the procedure against Terenzi has now ended, the topic of sexual harassment in society and in case law remains relevant. The development of the legal framework and the awareness of the problem are essential to protect those affected and promote preventive measures.
