A man living in an asylum accommodation has been convicted by the Tübingen Regional Court for pushing a male acquaintance out of a window and raping him, an incident that was captured by a surveillance camera. The 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for aggravated assault and rape.
The incident date back to November 2024 in the city of Reutlingen and involved the 30-year-old man was drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana with the victim inside an asylum accommodation.
The two men reportedly began arguing with one another, when the defendant pushed him, according to the victim. The man fell seven meters out of the window (approximately 22 feet), according to a report from SWR.
The victim was critically injured on the ground when the asylum seeker came outside, pulled down his pants, and then raped him. A surveillance camera captured the rape.
Pedestrians eventually arrived and began shouting for help, with one of them striking the rapist with a handbag. However, this did not deter the man from continuing to rape the injured victim, according to a judge, who cited the shocking details in his verdict.
The prosecutors in the case demanded 12 years, while the defense attorneys argued for an acquittal, saying the rape could not be proven.
The suspect has no prior convictions but the judge stated that the man has no mental illness or addiction issues that could have mitigated the sentence. Even though the defendant was on drugs at the time of the incident, they were not a significant amount. The judge ruled the man acted “deliberately.” The migrant also did not care that the man was seriously injured or that witnesses were trying to stop him.
“I hope you will undergo social therapy and take advantage of the other therapeutic services offered to you in prison,” said the judge.
There is no information about the man’s potential asylum status or what his nationality is.
