A 36-year-old man has been sentenced to 20 months in prison, with five months to be served immediately, for following, attacking, and breaking into the apartment of a 22-year-old woman in July 2023. The victim is still dealing with serious trauma from the event.
He followed her from the Ottakring subway station
On July 6, 2023, the young woman came home after working a night shift and noticed the man, following her from the Ottakring subway station to her apartment building. She didn’t think much of it and even held the door open for him. Inside the elevator, the man didn’t press a button for a floor, which made her suspicious. He later followed her to her apartment door, pushed her inside, and attacked her.
Although she screamed for help, no one heard her. The man hit her and pinned her down. At first, the victim thought he was trying to rob her and offered him money. But the man wanted sex, however, he suddenly stopped, saying, “What am I even doing here?” and left the apartment. The victim later recognized him in a photo released by the police, after which he turned himself in.
The attacker said he was drunk
In court, the attacker claimed he didn’t remember the attack because he had been drinking and using drugs. He also said he thought he was going to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment on the 10th floor. The court didn’t believe him because he never pressed the button for the 10th floor in the elevator.
The man, who is divorced and has a lot of debt, agreed to pay the victim €6,810 in damages. However, he probably won’t be able to pay because of his financial problems. He is also facing another charge for not paying €500 to an escort service in January 2023. This case is still being investigated.
The man’s lawyer said a recently discovered brain tumor might have affected his behavior. But Judge Katharina Bogner didn’t accept this argument, saying the attack was planned. She said, that the attacker followed the woman with the intent to harm her, and added, that the man was lucky he wasn’t also charged with robbery or rape.
The man has appealed the sentence, which is not final.
