Shocking allegations: boys accused of having misused girls

At the Salzburg Regional Court, a pioneering process began on Friday, in which a group of eight young people and young men between the ages of 16 and 19. The allegations are serious: On December 25, 2023, they are said to have brutally misused two heavily drunk girls aged 15 and 16, such as 5min.at . The public prosecutor has serious allegations, including sexual abuse of defenseless people. The incidents occurred at a party where the girls became victims of alcohol overdose and sexual acts that they could no longer experience deliberately due to the high alcohol consumption.

The accused, including Serbs, Turks and Austrians with a migration background, also made photos and videos during the attacks that were later secured by the police. These stressful evidence is the key point of the indictment. The two girls suffered post -traumatic stress disorders as a result of the actions, which increases the severity of the indictment and threatens the defendant in the event of a conviction of up to 7.5 years - in a particularly serious case even up to 15 years, such as puls24.at reported.

Details of the process

The public was excluded after the opening plea, and the further trial days are scheduled for 3rd, 5th and 7th March. While some of the defendants are already partially confessed, the majority refer to their right to refuse to testify. The question of agreement also remains controversial: defenders claim that the sexual acts were initially given. A defender argued that his client was not in the apartment while the acts took place, and another concluded that the girls themselves could have taken the initiative. These complex and shattering circumstances will significantly influence the course of the procedure.
