But kickboxer and master painter Sebastian Preuss , who spent six months in the Munich correctional facility, still denies that he was the swan racket from the Isar - yet he admits that he was convicted of the swan attack.

After he first told RTL that he had been to the Isar on that day, but had never hit the man with a swan, he now told Bild.de : “At that time I was in custody for six months and had four pending proceedings still open. "On the advice of his legal assistance, he therefore admitted, among other things, the swan attack " in order to be released from custody, to be able to finish my education and to receive a milder sentence , "said the bachelor continues. He was a great animal lover and could never do anything to animals. "It was all over ten years ago and I've finished with it."

However, the victim at the time confirmed to our online editorial team the allegations against the bachelor, as you can read here. He is certain that Sebastian Preuss was the one who attacked him with a swan - although Preuss still denies the attack.

Meanwhile, the "Bachelor" 2020 (here in the live ticker) is entering the decisive phase.

First report from January 17, 2020:

"The Bachelor": Did he beating a man with a swan? Sebastian Preuss denies everything

Munich - Since episode one of the current season, viewers have known that the current "Bachelor", Munich's Sebastian Preuss (29), has multiple criminal records and was already in prison for physical injury. The kickboxing world champion and owner of a painting company portrayed his past full of violence, crime and fatal blows. However, no exact details of the offenses committed by the Bachelor were known to date.

Sebastian Preuss: Did the current Bachelor beat up a man with a living swan?

Does a report that tz.de * published in 2009 now provide information about an act committed by Sebastian Preuss? Because there is talk of a Sebastian P. who committed a crime that is difficult to understand. However, the Bachelor denies having anything to do with the deed.

Under the title "Swan as a weapon: Raid on the Flaucher" , the article describes how the painter trainee Sebastian P. completely freaked out at a barbecue on his 18th birthday in May 2008. With his then 28-year-old friend Istvan Z. said Sebastian P. attacked a man with a swan on the banks of the Munich Isar.

Attack with stones, glowing coal and a swan: was that the bachelor and his buddy?

The reason for the attack is as inconceivable as the act itself: the two met their later victim Steven L. (then 34) from Eisenhüttenstadt at a kiosk. Sebastian P. and Istvan Z. mobbed the Brandenburg man because of his East German dialect. "You Ossisau, because of you you should rebuild the wall up to the sky," they insulted their victim. Although Steven L. was not disturbed by the hostility and went to the banks of the Isar with his girlfriend to feed swans, Sebastian P. and Istvan Z. followed the couple. Sebastian P. grabbed a swan by the neck and struck Steven L. with it. The two had previously seen this on television, as Istvan Z. testified in court. The swan survived the attack.

After the swan attack, Istvan Z. threw glowing charcoal at the victim and hit him on the head with a broken, sharp-edged beer bottle . Then Sebastian P. and Istvan Z. stepped on the victim lying on the ground and threw stones at him. The victim was injured. "I thought they were going to kill him," said the victim's girlfriend in the courtroom.

Both perpetrators received suspended sentences after the swan attack

The punishment was rather light for the two heavily alcoholized perpetrators: Sebastian P. and Istvan Z. were each sentenced to two years suspended probation for insulting, bodily harm and a violation of the Animal Welfare Act. In addition, Sebastian P. must not get caught in the blood with more than 0.5 per thousand alcohol in public and meet with a criminal who has a criminal record. He also received a ban on space.

A post shared by Sebastian Preuss (@sebastianpreuss) on May 1, 2019 at 2:47 pm PDT

This suggests that the swan attack is the current Bachelor

Sebastian P., described as a perpetrator in the article, has strong parallels with the current Bachelor. Bachelor Sebastian Preuss was born on May 9, 1990 - so in May 2008, as described in the article, also celebrated his 18th birthday .

In addition, the article speaks of the fact that Sebastian P. already had several convictions for assault before the swan attack. He was also banned from staying at Schweizer Platz , where he regularly met with his clique. Sebastian Preuss already told both in the first bachelor episode. In addition, Sebastian P. is described as a trainee painter . The 29-year-old bachelor has learned the same profession and is now a painter.

So far, however, it is unclear whether all the overlaps are just an extremely unfavorable coincidence, or whether the bachelor, who also made the headlines with a bedroom secret, actually did this unbelievable act.

Beaten up man with swan? Bachelor denies that he was the culprit

Bachelor Sebastian Preuss spoke in an RTL interview about the parallels between the incident and his past. “I was on the Isar with my then girlfriend on my 18th birthday, 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, ”Sebastian Preuss describes the incident.

He ran away with his German Shepherd puppy, which he had at the time. "There were no witnesses, the claims are false and absurd," explains the bachelor in the interview. He never harmed an animal, he grew up with animals . "How is it going to pack a swan like that? In any case, the welfare of animals is very important to me, "explains the 29-year-old. In the meantime, the bachelor distances himself from all forms of violence." I regret my mistakes and even help show young people how to get out of crime. "

What do the bachelor girls say about the allegations against Sebastian Preuss?
