Gang rape – trial clerk: “I expect an acquittal”

How could it be that all four suspects in the case of the alleged gang rape of a schoolgirl (16) in Linz were released after only two weeks in custody? “It’s not a surprise to me,” says Wilhelm Deutschmann, a 15-year-old procedural assistant to an accused Afghan man.

Wilhelm Deutschmann (53) is actually a commercial lawyer and a specialist in restructuring and insolvency law. The enthusiasm that he was chosen as a legal assistant (duty defender) for the Afghan (15) suspected of killing a schoolgirl (16) on a stairwell with two compatriots (15 each) and an Iranian (14) on March 30 to have raped for more than an hour near the main train station in Linz was initially intended to end. “When reading the act, however, I noticed inconsistencies that raise a number of questions. A lot of what the victim claims is simply not consistent for me,” explains Deutschmann. “It’s strange that the girl has no injuries or bruises on her arms, neck or legs that indicate violence,” said the trial clerk. The student also had no defensive injuries and is said to have only screamed briefly once. “According to my client, the sex was voluntary.” Visiting Afghans According to Deutschmann, the Afghan had known the 16-year-old for about a week, and the alleged victim had even visited him at home in Linz: “That could also be the case Confirm father.” The fact that the young man bought a condom after meeting him at the train station is also unusual. “He says that she tried to contact him – that’s why he voluntarily handed in his cell phone for inspection.” Weapons, drugs or alcohol were also not involved. Deutschmann: “Something stinks there. I expect an acquittal in court.”
