In the Viennese Landl, a 19-year-old boy and his 41-year-old mother are sitting on the dock. This concerns a crime that, according to the Public Prosecution Service, took place on the night of November 27, 2022 in the Viennese apartment where the two lived together. And in its history it brings back memories of the tragic Leonie case.
The victim: a girl just 13 years old, not averse to drug use and who kept running away from home. She was already on Benzos when she met the accused Serb and his 22-year-old co-suspect friend in a park, who could not be tried Friday due to illness. “She went to the suspect’s apartment and the use continued there: marijuana and cocaine,” the prosecutor reports.
Although she was clearly affected by the drugs, both men had unprotected sex with the child. DNA traces prove this. The Serb pleads “not guilty” that he did not know she was a minor.
“She told me she was turning 18. I am telling the truth,” the mother said during the trial, as she supported her children, who had three previous convictions and had been released from custody. The woman, who according to her statements has completed pedagogical training, was also in the apartment on the night of the crime. “Only the nurse who picked her up told us how old she really was.”
Because the 41-year-old said during police questioning that she did not know her son’s boyfriend, she was also charged with making false statements. “I don’t know him. He told me his name was Mohammed and that he was turning 18,” she stuck to this version during the trial.
The little victim weighed only 35 kilos at the time
“In your apartment there was a 22-year-old man and a girl who had just turned 13. And you both believed they were 18?’ Mrs. Rat gets louder. The alleged victim is said to have weighed only 35 kilograms at the time. On the screens in the hallway she shows a photo of the petite girl. Lawyer Sonja Scheed also brought photos of the victim wearing heavy makeup: “That was around the same time and she looks much older than 13.”
While her client denies the sexual abuse of a minor, he admits the co-suspect’s facts. Without a driver’s license, he was stopped in an unregistered car with false license plates. He didn’t pay at a gas station. “He simply cannot worry about anything,” the prosecutor aptly summarizes. He and the judge lose patience more than once because of the defendant’s flippant, contradictory statements and his constant interjections. Adjourned for further witnesses.
