Rape allegation: trial postponed after drug excess!

A 44-year-old man, whose criminal history includes 18 convictions, is accused of repeatedly drugging and raping his then-partner, a sexual worker from Hungary. These frightening allegations were recently made during a jury trial led by Judge Gernot Kugi. The defendant vehemently denied any allegations and stated that his ex-partner was never forced to do anything against her will and that she consumed the drugs voluntarily today.at reported.
However, the woman described a different reality in a recorded statement. She explained that she was under the influence of drugs and had no way of defending herself. It was only months after the incidents that she plucked up enough courage to ask an employee in a cell phone shop for help and ask him in Hungarian to call the police. This ultimately led to the defendant being arrested at his apartment. Since the public prosecutor also wants to hear the testimony of the cell phone shop employee, the trial was postponed. If the defendant is found guilty, he could face up to ten years in prison, for which the presumption of innocence continues to apply kaernten.ORF.at.
