14-year-old in court: attempted murder after brutal attack!

In a sensational case at the Krems regional court, a 14-year-old boy is facing serious allegations. The teenager who is said to have brutally beaten a 45-year-old together with two accomplices is suspected of attempted murder. The public prosecutor's office emphasizes that the use of force can be classified as particularly serious, especially since the defendants wanted to leave the victim injured and unclothed in the forest after the attack. The incident occurred on November 21 and was only ended when the victim escaped and alerted police, according to the crown reported.

The background is complex: The juvenile defendant, who comes from a stable family, came into contact with alcohol and drugs at the age of eleven and has had several brushes with the law in the past. According to his defense attorney, he felt “abused” by the man on the night in question after sexual acts had previously occurred. The public prosecutor's office also focused on this and emphasized the seriousness of the allegations, which range from serious extortion to attempted murder. The verdict in this scandalous case is set to come down now.

Acquittal in rape case

Heute dokumentiert, hat für großflächige Empörung gesorgt. Der Verteidiger des Jugendlichen bezeichnete den Vorfall als „Fehler“, aber das Mädchen wird in ihrer leidvollen Erfahrung nicht ernst genommen.

The verdict sparked a storm of indignation, particularly from the victim's representative, who noted that the contempt shown to his client was "boundless." The girl's mother burst into tears at the trial when a symbolic amount of 100 euros, which the defendant offered as "goodwill", was seen as another mockery. This interplay of violence and its justification in the justice system leads to ongoing discussions about how to deal with victims of sexual violence and calls into question the integrity of the legal system.
