The public prosecutor’s office in Nuremberg-Fürth has brought charges against a man (54). The accused is alleged to have raped women in the asylum accommodation at the Tiergarten in Nuremberg for years.
The accused was employed for several years as a security guard in the asylum seekers’ accommodation in Schmausenbuckstraße in Nuremberg, where only women are accommodated.
According to information from the newspaper BILD, the man was born in Iraq and now has a German passport.
Senior public prosecutor Heike Klotzbücher (54): “In the period from 2018 to 2022, he is alleged to have raped a female resident in at least 72 cases, and another female resident in five cases. In addition, he is accused of sexually harassing a third woman. All offences are alleged to have taken place in the premises of the asylum seekers’ accommodation”.
Klotzbücher did not give any information on the origin and age of the women for their protection.
The alleged rapes came up when they were talked about in the accommodation. The man then went to the police himself and accused one of the women of falsely accusing him. When the investigation began, the women told the police.
The building had been built in 1970, then used as the “Hotel am Tiergarten” for 35 years. Then it was vacant for ten years. In 2015, during the refugee crisis, the government of Middle Franconia agreed with the owner to turn it into refugee accommodation.
After renovation, a ten-year contract was signed in 2017. Tragic: At the time, the decision was made to house single women there, with and without children, who are particularly in need of protection. Only fathers of families were allowed as male residents, and to protect the women, a security service was set up to be on site 24 hours a day.
