The unimaginable allegedly happened to a 17-year-old girl in the municipality of Biedermannsdorf (Lower Austria): an initially unknown person allegedly harassed the young person and then pushed her to the ground and then raped her. Fortunately, the victim was able to defend himself. Now it turns out: the suspect is an IS fanatic.
The shameful act had already taken place in March this year. The 17-year-old Hungarian woman was traveling in the Mödling district when the man allegedly sexually harassed her. According to police, the suspect first pushed the victim to the ground, masturbated and then ejaculated on her pants. Due to the Hungarian woman’s resistance, the man eventually let go of the victim and fled.
Drove with victim to green space
As part of the initial investigation, it was eventually revealed that the 17-year-old and the suspect had met online two days earlier and had ultimately agreed to meet on March 18. The suspect – he is only 20 years old – then allegedly drove the girl on his moped to a green area, where he then committed the crime.
DNA evidence weighs heavily on Syrians
During the course of the investigation, the police were quickly able to determine that the suspected perpetrator – a Syrian asylum seeker – came from Vienna. He was finally arrested there on August 20. The 20-year-old denied any guilt in an interview, but traces of the Syrian’s DNA were found on the victim’s pants, seriously incriminating him.
IS promoted on the Internet
As part of further investigation, files were also found on the suspect’s mobile phone that indicate possible involvement of terrorists. The State Office for State Security and Counter-Terrorism in Lower Austria (LSE NÖ) therefore took over further data analysis – propaganda material from the terrorist organization “Islamist State” was found. In addition, the 20-year-old is said to have produced video material himself by promoting IS and calling for ‘jihad’. The young man sent this material on the Internet. He is said to have tried to recruit members for IS.
The man has been in custody in Wiener Neustadt since August. An interrogation was unsuccessful.
