Only one of nine migrant men who gang-raped a 15-year-old girl in the German city of Hamburg in 2020 has been sentenced to prison, with the rest having received suspended sentences, allowing them to walk free after their conviction. The only one to be imprisoned received just two years and nine months.
The men, who have a wide range of backgrounds including German, Armenian, Afghan, Kuwaiti, and Montenegrin, took advantage of a drunk teenage girl in a Hamburg park during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic by leading her into a bush and taking turns to rape her over two and a half hours, while also videoing the incident.
One of the rapists also stole the girl’s phone and purse. Sperm from the nine men was found on the girl’s body shortly after the incident.
The trial began in May last year, with the court hearing 96 witnesses and experts.
“This was a mammoth-circumstantial process in which it was not clear for a long time what would happen on the night of the 19th to the 20th. September 2020,” explained the trial’s leading justice, Anne Meier-Göring.
“European girls are fair game. Sold out by our establishments,” vented Dutch philosopher and conservative commentator Eva Vlaadingerbroek following the court’s decision.
