Sexual harassment in S-Bahn: Mann from Eritrea convicted!

Bahnhof Turgi, Schweiz - An everyday evening train becomes the stage of a shocking incident! A 40-year-old man from Eritrea bothered a woman in March 2024 during a train ride between Turgi and Baden. The hectic backdrop of Turgi station was witnessed to a serious attack when the man entered the S-Bahn and took a seat next to an innocent woman.

Shortly after getting in, the mischief began: the man spoke to the woman, but his words were not enough for him! He cheekily sliding his right hand over her leg and then touched her chest through another bad border crossing. The woman made it unequivocally clear that she did not want this approach, but the man ignored her signals Kackfrech. Even when I got out in Turgi, the woman could not escape his attack when he grabbed again and grabbed her on her buttocks. As can be seen from the Book of the Aargau public prosecutor, the attacker knew exactly what he did, and acted consciously and intentionally ( Zofinger Tagblatt reported).

condemnation and punishment

The brutal action was now followed by just punishment: the 40-year-old was sentenced to a fine of CHF 500 due to sexual harassment. But that's not all! The fees and additional costs added up to a total of CHF 1070. A price that cannot completely make up for the painful damage.

a long way for justice

Even if the court condemned the perpetrator, the woman remains with the consequences of his actions. She made a claim for damages because of the traumatizing experience. The details about the amount of the claim are not carried out in the penalty order; The public prosecutor points the woman towards the time -consuming civil path. An uncertain future that creates hope of balance, but also progress in a world that often turns too slowly to enforce the victim's rights (as in the Aargauer Zeitung described).

This shocking incident reminds us that security and respect in public transport must not only be keywords, but must become a reality!
