Ex-prosecutor convicted of rape. The Lübeck regional court does not believe that the man committed the crime while sleepwalking.
“We assume that the act should be understood as a dysfunctional coping strategy,” said Judge Helga von Lukowicz. The man was under professional pressure and the marriage was over. ‘The violent abuse of his son gave him back his feeling of power for a moment,’ said the presiding judge. The trial was less about the sexual acts themselves and more about the circumstances that night.
