Two perspectives: allegation of rape and a strange relationship

A threatening incident in South Burgenland caused a sensation, in which the statements of the alleged perpetrator and the victim differ greatly. While the woman reports on attempted rape and fear of death by a weapon, the accused Burgenländer states that it was mutually acceptable sex.

The accused, a mid-20-year-old in custody, reported to the investigators as "not guilty". Although he gave up his drug past and the consumption of various substances from the age of 14 to 18, his picture deviates from that of the woman.

The dynamics of the relationship

The victim, the former lover of a friend of the accused, describes a relationship that was characterized as a "friendship plus", but, as the public prosecutor describes, ended in a continuing attack. The incident took place in the man's apartment at the end of June, where the woman tried to go home but was held back by force by the accused.

with the words "You don't go yet, I want to go again!" If the man is said to have prevented the woman from leaving the apartment and pressing her with force. A desperate attempt to escape failed because the victim fell to the ground and was withdrawn by the Burgenland.

threat with a firearm

The prosecutor described that the situation escalated when the accused held a rifle to the woman, which she passed in fear of death. This shock moment only ended when the woman used the opportunity to escape in a new scramble. The reports of a alleged drug distribution and the woman's statement that she woke up naked in a bed, referred to possible attacks.

The Burgenland, on the other hand, claims that they have not used or administered illegal drugs. He admits that they have come to sexual activity, but everything was mutually mutually agreed. According to his statements, sex was about an hour and without major problems, and he did not use the weapons found in his apartment during the incident.

the injuries and the present evidence

Another strongly controversial topic is the condition of the victim. Despite the massive injuries described as scratches, bite wounds and hematomas, the accused sees the claims as unbelievable. The prosecutor replied that the multitude of injuries tell a clear story that does not correspond to the explanations of the man.

supported by a hospital finding, according to which the woman was able to describe the events in a clear language, her lawyer demands pain and suffering in the amount of 2,000 euros. The trial was postponed to November so that further witnesses in the Eisenstadt regional court can be interpreted. While the case is being negotiated, the presumption of innocence applies.
