It was a lavish party night. People moved from location to location. A Bolt ride then became fatal for two young women. The car the two got into was not the ordered car, but that of the suspect. In a parking garage, the man beat the students. The court decides: he wanted to rape her!
It would have been pure coincidence that two young women were in the defendant’s car. When the students mistook the 35-year-old’s car for the Bolt cab they ordered, the drug-intoxicated man said he simply drove off in a panic.
But even more: the suspect was even afraid of the two early 20-year-olds. “I was under the impression that they wanted to hurt me. That they wanted to hit me,” he explains, insisting that he was “all stoned.”
Female students brutally beaten in garage
But this fate befell the two young women in the car park of the Romanian’s house: “I knew it couldn’t be right that we drove into an underground car park,” recalls the 24-year-old on the witness stand at the Vienna Regional Court . The defendant threw her to the ground when she tried to escape and hit her in the face with his fists – until her nose broke. He only let it go to beat her friend. She was eventually able to save herself in the stairwell and got help.
The 23-year-old second victim is pretty sure: “He wanted to rape us.” That’s what the charge is based on. Defense attorney Sascha Flatz only says, “There are two victims. It’s actually not okay for you to rape two women in a parking garage.”
imprisonment for attempted rape
For the jury, that’s fine, and that’s exactly what happened. The 35-year-old deliberately pretended to be a taxi driver and took the two students to the underground parking garage of his apartment building. With the aim of knocking her unconscious and assaulting her there. The previously convicted man was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for attempted rape.
