Trial after bar meeting – 17-year-old reported: oral sex “not consensual”

After spending time together at the bar, they both went home together. “She pushed the bicycle and I went with her,” the suspect said. He then performed oral sex on her in his car. “She also gave me oral sex,” he said. The 17-year-old who was interviewed as a witness at the time denied this. She did not want sexual acts: “I told him several times that I wanted to be left alone,” she explained, sometimes emotionally. But they did not physically defend themselves. “Sometimes I felt like I had distanced myself.”

Completely contradictory final lectures
The closing statements of the prosecution and defense were as contradictory as these two statements. “The suspect is considerably older and simply surprised her,” the prosecutor said. There is simply “no reason” for any kind of desired “sexual acts” on the part of the young woman. The lawyer, on the other hand, spoke of consensus: “She initially agreed to the kiss and also wanted him to come along.” His client had to assume that everything else was desired, especially since she never gave him a clear signal. the opposite .

Final judgment not yet
The judge ultimately pronounced ‘acquittal in case of doubt’. In his judgment he stated that “neither one nor the other option could be followed without restrictions”. He referred to the sometimes very different descriptions of the events. The judgment is not final.
