Yvonne Kussmann announced that she has the judgment against Ahmad A. The 26-year-old Syrian has been sentenced to two years and six months in prison for the rape of a 16-year-old girl in a Munich asylum shelter on the night of February 27, 2025, as well as for the production of youth pornographic content. Information regarding his entry and residence status has been redacted in the judgment, making further research necessary. After reading the written justification for the judgment, she wants to wait for the outcome of the ongoing proceedings at the Munich I Regional Court. There, Ahmad A. will be charged along with two Yemeni co-defendants for the rape of a 29-year-old woman in Munich. Kussmann stated that the 16-year-old victim was particularly vulnerable, and she believes that a possible connection between the vulnerability of the victims in both cases is conceivable. As soon as she receives the judgment from the Munich I Regional Court, she intends to report in more detail. #Vergewaltigung #Justiz #Opferschutz (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that a 16-year-old girl was exploited by three men at Augsburg's Königsplatz in July 2025 after being heavily intoxicated. Nader S., who was 19 at the time, brought the girl and a friend to an apartment. When they wanted to leave, the door was locked, and the 16-year-old girl's phone was taken away. The girls were provided with alcohol and drugs. Nader S. then raped the nearly unconscious girl. In May 2026, he was sentenced to three years in a youth detention center by the Augsburg district court. The day before her report, a 21-year-old Afghan, whom Kussmann described as a friend of Nader S., was also sentenced to three years in prison. He was convicted of rape and bodily injury under adult criminal law. According to Kussmann, he raped the girl after Nader S. had fallen asleep. DNA traces indicated that a third person had raped the girl that same night. Whether this person had been identified was not publicly known. Kussmann questioned the severity of the sentences and announced that she would investigate whether the perpetrators would be deported after serving their sentences. #Vergewaltigung #Augsburg #Gerechtigkeit (translated)

MOURNING VIGIL GERMANY announced that the first mourning vigil was originally planned for September 2, 2025, at Cologne Cathedral Square. Despite months of preparation and timely submission of the application, the event could not take place there; the cancellation was communicated only shortly before the date. Instead, the authorities offered a location outside the center, which, from the organizers' perspective, would not have had the desired symbolic effect. The group stated that they also wanted to remember the girls and women affected by sexualized crimes during the Cologne New Year's Eve of 2015/2016 with the mourning vigil. At that time, at least 661 girls and women aged 15 to 35 were registered as victims, including cases of completed and attempted rape. The group estimates that the actual number is much higher. It is open whether the next mourning vigil will take place in Cologne; otherwise, a visit may occur at a later date. The group explained that they wanted to set a visible sign with a stop in Cologne and not forget the victims. They stated they did not want to influence the outcome of a vote, but the location has great symbolic significance. #trauerwache #deutschland #köln #Silvester #gedenken #solidarität #mädchen #frau https://t.co/409m136JKV #trauerwache #deutschland #solidarität (translated)

HeiLender™ wrote that a 15-year-old had repeatedly abused a nine-year-old girl and sexually harassed a 14-year-old in Vienna. As an explanation, it was stated that the juvenile had difficulties managing his emotions and aggression. The court had ordered 500 euros in damages, six months of probationary imprisonment, as well as psychotherapy and sexual counseling. The punishment does not appear in the so-called character reference, wrote HeiLender™. He criticized that Austria shows compassion to the point of self-neglect. #Wien #Justiz #Gesellschaft (translated)
