Taharrush in Vienna: Arab gang rapists receive sex therapy

One of the Arab asylum seekers who chased two Upper Austrian women in the Favoriten district of Vienna to their flat and sexually harassed them stood before the Vienna Regional Court today. The Algerian (17) was sentenced to eight months imprisonment – two of them suspended – and has to undergo sex therapy.

The circumstances of the crime were so gruesome that even the police spokesperson spoke of “unprecedented proportions”. Immediately after two young Upper Austrian women (19, 21) got off the train at Keplerplatz underground station at the end of June, they were harassed and surrounded by eight Arab migrants. One of the men, the now convicted Algerian (17) tried to assert himself against his companions – among them a Moroccan asylum seeker (22) – and is said to have repeatedly said: “Leave her, the girl belongs to me”.

The two young women did not manage to free themselves from the men’s encirclement and were massively groped on the buttocks, between the legs and in the breast area. At least two of the migrants even made it to the flat of the 18-year-old girlfriend who was celebrating her birthday. The women only managed to lure the violent Algerian and his companions out of the flat by a trick. The Algerian then became angry and kicked the door of the girls’ flat. When the girls called the police, the asylum seeker and his friends fled.

The asylum seeker received eight months imprisonment, two of which were on probation, for sexual harassment, trespassing, damage to property and other offences. As he has been in pre-trial detention since the beginning of July, he will already be released from custody in the coming days. He accepted the sentence. Without a statement by the public prosecutor’s office, the guilty verdict is not yet legally binding.

Following his imprisonment, the convicted man will be given probation assistance. He will also receive sex and anti-violence therapy at a non-profit association in Vienna. It is not known whether his conviction will change anything in his asylum procedure, which is still open.
