Anatomy is the study of the shape of the body.

A physiotherapist (56) from the southern district of Munich interpreted this teaching specifically.

County - Caroline S. (name changed) was shocked.

After the physiotherapy unit in a practice in summer 2020, the 37-year-old snuck outside.

She could hardly believe what had happened to her.

She called her friend, a doctor, and told them what had happened during the massage.

And she asked, confused, whether it would be normal for the therapist to reach into her vagina for follow-up treatment for a broken foot.

The doctor confirmed that the mother had been raped and moved her to file a complaint.

Now he's on trial.

The actions of the accused

Another patient and a colleague of the therapist had a similar experience during this time.

Like Caroline S., they had to strip naked and lay them on the treatment table.

The man had spared himself an explanation.

At most, he warned against intense grabs near the sensitive pelvic floor.

If the women feel pain, they should tell him so.

He didn't want to be any clearer.

"Otherwise they'll ask what is he doing on the clitoris?" He said in court.

The defendant also advised women not to talk to anyone about the treatment, to forget about it, and not to advertise him.

Anything else would weaken the effects of the massage, he claimed.

Already convicted

The 56-year-old had a relevant criminal record. In 2007 and 2010, he had abused two women in a similar way. Because of the sexual criminal law, which was not yet tightened at the time, he got away with a suspended sentence, but was banned from working. He withheld the criminal record from his employer in the southern district. A certificate of good conduct was allegedly not required. The physiotherapist claimed that he was wrongly convicted at the time. Even in the currently accused cases, he does not want to have raped the women. Rather, he pursues a "holistic method". Caroline S. is still marked by the attack. Physiotherapy is currently unimaginable for her. But she cannot get into a taxi alone, which a man controls, or fetch files from the basement for her employer. Yesterday she was invited as the first witnessbut had to wait a long time for her statement. Judge Markus Koppenleitner had advised the defenders to adopt a different defense strategy. The process is ongoing.
