The suspect is on trial.
Regensburg - Since Monday morning (January 10th) a 20-year-old Romanian has been tried in the Regional Court of Regensburg *.

He attacked another one, but she was able to escape, as various media reported at the time.
At the end of May 2021, the man is said to have ambushed a jogger who was out in Neustadt an der Donau that evening and threatened with a knife.
According to the prosecutor, he wanted to rape the 41-year-old, but the woman resisted and was able to escape her attacker.
She was slightly injured in the process.

Another woman didn't get off so lightly just two weeks later.
Here, too, the then 19-year-old is said to have ambushed his victim.

There the suspect is said to have pulled her into a bush, threatened her and forced her to have oral sex.
Then he raped her, injuring the 44-year-old.
Just a few days after the second crime, the investigators were able to arrest a suspect, the 19-year-old Romanian.
The prosecution's allegations: attempted rape, rape and assault.
Since the suspect is only 20 years old, juvenile criminal law is likely to apply.
The process is initially scheduled for nine days.
