In 2020, there was a sexual assault case in Germany that shocked the world.
On the evening of September 19, 2020, a 15-year-old girl attended a party in a park in Hamburg, Germany.

At the party, the girl drank too much.
According to the test, her blood alcohol concentration reached 0.16%.
People who drink to this level will have behaviors such as noise, dizziness, vomiting, etc., and general motor skills will be out of balance, and the whole person will be shaky.
After seeing the girl drunk, four men took her to a bush, assaulted her, and one of them stole her mobile phone and wallet.
Later, two other men found the girl abandoned in the bushes and assaulted her a second time while she was in a trance.
Later, when the girl woke up and tried to run through the grass, she was assaulted by a man.
Eventually, three more people took the girl into the bushes and committed a fourth assault......
The whole process takes up to two and a half hours.
The girl was assaulted by a total of 10 people, including a 23-year-old woman who was acquitted for lack of evidence, and the police found evidence of violence against all but nine of them.

Since the nine prisoners were all between the ages of 17 and 21, the court did not disclose many details of the trial, except that the entire case lasted 68 days and that the court heard 96 witnesses and a number of experts.
One of the female experts said that the perpetrators are mostly immigrants and marginalized people who have lost their roots in culture, language and society, so sex is a way for them to vent their frustration and anger, and a way for them to defend against grief and emptiness.
In a group of men who share the same fate, this creates identity and strengthens a sense of community.
(The "expert" who made this statement)
Rape an underage female to strengthen identity. Such an outrageous statement became a reason for the judge to sympathize with these beasts.
Through the experts' statements and recommendations, eight of the nine rapists will not be sentenced to prison and will only be sentenced to probation; Only one was sentenced to two years and nine months in juvenile prison.
Such an outcome has undoubtedly caused outrage.
In retaliation for their actions, some time ago, someone leaked the phone numbers of these prisoners on the Internet, and it was seen by a 20-year-old German female nurse.
She was also a young woman, and she was very dissatisfied with what happened to the victim and the outcome of the trial, so after seeing the phone number, she sent a text message to one of the prisoners, and she scolded:
She called the prisoner a "shameful rapist" and a "disgusting monster," and threatened the prisoner, "You'll never be able to show your face in public again, and I promise you'll be hit everywhere you ......."

She seemed to want to vent her anger through a series of text messages, but unexpectedly, she was quickly arrested by the police.
After the police investigation, it was found that the woman had a criminal record, and she had been punished for stealing low-value items worth less than 25 euros, so the court finally detained her for two days and two nights for insults and threats.
The punishment was worse than the rapist she insulted.
In addition to the woman, the Hamburg authorities are investigating more than 140 other cases of insults and threats against the rapist, and perhaps more will follow in the footsteps of the woman in the future.

Netizens are full of incomprehension and anger at such a practice:
"It doesn't matter if they're minors or not, if they do commit rape, they can't be treated as human beings, they need to be sentenced to death.
Because you can't reform a rapist. ”

"Get on the wood chipper, I know you have it in Germany."

"Crazy, right? This judge should be afraid to appear in public. ”

"This is what happens when 'virtue' triumphs over justice."

"She harassed and threatened him, and even if you are threatening a criminal, you should pay the consequences for it, and in any case, it is not a big deal to go to jail for a few days.
Disturbingly, 9 out of 10 rapists were not in prison due to age and lack of evidence, which is what triggers the threat. ”
"What's the point, it's not a big deal to go to jail for a few days? So why didn't these rapists sit for a few days? ”

"I mean, the rapists' witnesses said they raped to vent their frustration and anger as immigrants (what she said, not what I said), so they weren't sentenced to jail.
So why can't other people (women) vent their anger at rapists with words? Why do they have to go to jail? ”

From the judge's point of view, the above netizen comments probably also belong to "insults and threats to rapists", and I hope these netizens will not be imprisoned for this......
