  • The kickboxing world champion denies the fact - but now the victim from back then speaks up.

Munich - Around the time of Bachelor Sebastian Preuss, serious allegations were circulating at the beginning of the week: under the influence of alcohol did he grab a lively swan by the neck on his 18th birthday and hit him with 34-year-old Steven L.? Did he kick the victim with a buddy and throw stones and red-hot coal at them? And all because Steven L. spoke an East German dialect?

This rumor spread in the media after an article by tz.de * from 2009 surfaced that reported a beating attack with a swan on the Munich Isar.

Bachelor Sebastian Preuss denies swan attack

The 29-year-old kickboxing world champion admitted with regret in succession one of the current bachelor season that he was convicted of various crimes in his youth and even jailed for six months for assault. But in Munich in an interview with RTL.de on Friday, the swan-beating allegations were denied: "I was on the Isar on the 18th day with my then girlfriend, my brother was there in parallel. His friends had a fight with someone, I wanted to settle the fight. The argument escalated when the guy attacked me, "claims Sebastian Preuss. He further explains in the interview:" I had a German Shepherd puppy with whom I ran away. There were no witnesses, the allegations are wrong and absurd. I have never harmed an animal, I grew up with animals. How is it going to pack a swan? Anyway, the welfare of animals is very important to me. "

Sebastian Preuss makes serious accusation of being victim of swan attack: "Lies story"

The 44-year-old Steven L. , who was injured in the swan attack in 2008, has now contacted our online editorial team * to tell his version of the story. The Brandenburg native wanted to make it clear that Sebastian Preuss' claims "are completely lying and he wants to present himself against the better knowledge, here as a kind of confusion and victim of justice." It is also important to him that the candidates of the Bachelor format know the truth about Sebastian Preuss , "I actually thought after 10 years that I had forgotten and processed this thing, but this lie story by Sebastian Preuss forces me to comment on it," said the father of the family.

"My then girlfriend and current wife and mother of my son were the victims of the three thugs for the current Bachelor Sebastian Preuss," said Steven L. This is how he saw the deed in May 2008 : "They threw fist-sized stones at me, full beer bottles and a red-hot charcoal grill. My girlfriend at the time was also attacked and pushed away while trying to protect myself from the three perpetrators when I was already bleeding on the ground because the perpetrators continued to kick my head. ”The third thug had escaped at the time. Istvan Z. and Sebastian P. were sentenced to a suspended sentence, as can also be read in the tz.de * article from 2009.
