- Medical practitioner accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old female individual.
Get the scoop on a shocking trial taking place today in Osnabrück. A local doctor is in the hot seat, facing charges of sexual abuse, rape, and bodily harm at the regional court. The alleged victim is a 14-year-old girl, and the accused, a 56-year-old medic.
The doctor's silence deafens the courtroom
At the trial's commencement, the defendant remained tight-lipped. As per the indictment, the doctor engaged in a chat with the teen, portraying himself as a potential benefactor. The young girl initially masqueraded as 16 years old. The doctor reportedly offered the teenager 100 euros, the exact purpose of which remains to be explored during the trial, according to the court's spokesperson.
According to the allegations, the doctor picked up the girl from the train station, whisking her off to the clinic where the assault allegedly occurred. The 14-year-old victim swiftly reported the incident to the police on the same day. Subsequent searches of the doctor's private apartment and the clinic room provided evidence for the case.
The young victim's testimony was heard in a private session on the trial's opening day. Witnesses will also be called to present pertinent information regarding the incident, such as a forensic expert.
The regional court has allotted six trial days, with a verdict expected to be delivered in May.
