Doctor Sentenced for Rape of a Teenage Girl
Child sexually assaulted by a doctor - four-and-a-half-year prison sentence imposed
A 56-year-old doctor in Osnabrück has been sentenced to four years and three months in prison for the rape of a 14-year-old girl[1][2][3]. The case, which garnered significant attention due to the defendant's profession, involved a series of disturbing events that took place at a local hospital.
The doctor, who is married with children, met the underage victim through an online chat platform, establishing a relationship before the crime occurred[1]. After arranging a meeting, the pair drove to the clinic where the doctor was on duty. The defendant allegedly exploited his position and the environment he controlled, secretly letting the girl into the building through a floor-to-ceiling window[1].
The rape and injury of the girl occurred multiple times in the doctor's office[1]. According to the presiding judge, the defendant had expressed his desire for sexual activity from the beginning of their acquaintance[1]. Despite the girl repeatedly saying no and showing signs of pain, the doctor continued his actions[1].
After the acts, the defendant took the 14-year-old back to the train station, paid for her return ticket, and gave her 100 euros[1]. The girl, who was bullied and ridiculed at school due to the act, eventually reported the doctor to the police[1].
During the trial, the defendant only admitted to the acts partially and "piece by piece" when it was unavoidable due to the evidence[1]. The court found the defendant guilty and concluded that a custodial sentence was necessary given the gravity of the crime[1][2][3]. The defendant has also indicated his intention to voluntarily give up his license to practice medicine[1].
The judge stated that "This case has only losers."[1]. The girl's parents, who blamed themselves for not being able to protect their child, were also affected by the events[1]. The case number for the court proceedings is 3 KLs 13/24[1].
