The two were in a relationship and voluntarily became intimate. Nevertheless, a 30-year-old man from Vienna administered drugs to the woman and then raped her. The alleged incident should not have been the first!
It is said that it was a pure mistake that his girlfriend woke up in the morning and had no memories. Especially not having sex at night. The police then gave her the shocking certainty that there were traces of knockout drops in her body. That was also the reason why she didn’t remember anything about the afternoon with the suspect.
Knockout drops as a sleeping aid
But only the 30-year-old could have mixed the drugs into the woman’s cocktail — after all, there were two of them in her apartment. The former paramedic does not deny that the knockout drops belonged to him. He released her from work.

The man would have suffered from insomnia due to his work and the 24-hour service would have taken its toll. He would then have taken the drug more regularly to sleep. This was also the case that afternoon when he met the 37-year-old victim. You watched a movie, drank pina colada.
Date “accidentally” drugged?
“I forgot to say there’s something in my glass,” the accused tries to explain to the jury panel how it happened that his date drank the knockout drops and not him. Then there was sexual activity. The man claimed several times that the 37-year-old would have been fully conscious and would have participated. Only later did she fall asleep. But the victim can’t remember anything…
And that shouldn’t be the first time she can’t remember a night with the suspect: In court, the 37-year-old talks about two other incidents.
The suspect wants to go to jail immediately
According to the Senate, taking sleeping pills in the afternoon and on a date is not at all strange. He is certain that he deliberately drugged the woman to rape her: that meant two and a half years in prison for the 30-year-old – which both he and the prosecutor accepted.
And he can’t be in too much of a hurry. During the trial, he asked the judge if he could start the prison sentence immediately. It only took the defendant one more phone call to quit his job as a bar assistant. His friend, who he was staying with, immediately kicked him out with the conviction…
