Gang Rape Trial Verdicts due in Hamburg's Youth Court
Get ready for the verdicts in the infamous gang rape trial, which will be announced at Hamburg's Youth Chamber of the Regional Court on Tuesday, at 9:30 am sharp. The court is facing ten young men accused of assaulting a 15-year-old girl in Stadtpark back in September 2020. The park became a popular gathering spot during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, hosting numerous parties, including the one attended by the 15-year-old.
According to the prosecutors, the intoxicated teenager was assaulted in a secluded bush area. In some instances, she was targeted with the use of force. The prosecution has requested sentences ranging from one and a half years to three years for nine defendants. Three defendants are up for a suspended sentence, while the decision on two others will be made at a later date. The prosecution calls for acquittal in the remaining case. The defense, however, has requested acquittals for all ten defendants.
Recent worries about gang crimes lingering in Hamburg's other communities have surfaced, prompting the local authorities to push ahead with criminal investigation and the protection of vulnerable individuals.
