Sexual harassment in Dresden: 52-year-old confessed in court!

in Dresden recently caused a sensation, both of which are strongly related to the topic of sexual harassment. An incident that heated the minds at a concert last year and another that occurred in the school environment shed light on the frequent and serious effects of such attacks.

In the first case, Lars H. (52) was charged with sexual harassment and threat after, on August 23, 2024, he had grown on the butt during a concert by the volume of the band 01099 on the eleventh on the elevator of a 16-year-old. During the negotiation at the Dresden District Court, it turned out that Lars H. was alcoholic and had consumed several drinks when the incident occurred. The defendant vehemently denied the crime and claimed to have been present with his 13-year-old son. But the witness reported inappropriate behavior and an aggressive reaction when her friend confronted him. The latter explained that Lars H. threatened him if he addressed the topic again. Finally, Lars H. withdrew his objection to a previously issued penalty order, which was considered a confession. The court imposed a penalty of 40 daily rates of 30 euros plus process and attorney costs, such as the report.

The second case concerns a 22-year-old student named Florian, who had to wait over a year and a half for the trial against his teacher Detlef S. (54). This is accused of having committed sexual harassment several times. The specifically accused incident occurred on September 28, 2021 during a group work in computer science lessons when Detlef S. Florian was said to have killed the thigh. There were further incidents with other students, but the school management was criticized because she had apparently turned the events under the carpet for a long time. Both affected students, Florian and another, had to be treated due to the psychological stress and were on sick leave. The judge hired the procedure, but emphasized that Florian was credible. Detlef S. was sentenced to pay Florian 1250 euros in pain and suffering within three months and must expect professional consequences, such as the University "> University Bern was published.

The two current cases illustrate how important it is to take sexual assault seriously and to take clear measures in both society as well as in school and leisure institutions to give a voice and to protect them.
