After allegations of violence and sexual assault against a girl, the parents of the three boys concerned are now defending themselves with lawyers.

Regensburg – The mother of a girl had raised massive allegations against three boys of the same age in a Regensburg kindergarten.

There was talk of violence and a serious sexual assault among peers.

The Kripo Regensburg took up investigations.

But now the boys' parents are fighting back.

They have filed criminal charges against the mother for defamation and faking a crime.

Her lawyers accuse the woman of lying.

Assault among peers in kindergarten: Staff and parents reject allegations

As reported, the mother had made public allegations of a brutal sexual assault on her daughter by the boys (aged between five and six years) in the kindergarten's parent chat and spoke of medically determined injuries.

The kindergarten management had rejected this.

And the parents of the boys are now also resisting this portrayal.

Assault allegations in Regensburg kindergarten: "Exaggerated dramatization" of child-friendly behavior?

The only thing that is undisputed is that the three boys bared their penises in front of the girl and asked her to do the same.

The girl refused.

And that's all that happened, says lawyer Urs Erös, who represents a couple together with his colleague Rosa Meyer-Eschenbach.

The incident happened within earshot of the daycare staff, who then intervened and first discussed the whole thing with the children and later discussed it with the parents.

This is about child-friendly behavior in the body-discovery phase.

"The whole thing took maybe a minute or two," says Erös.

The mother later made a “completely exaggerated dramatization” out of it.

According to the lawyer, your presentation is “blatant untruth”.

Allegations against kindergarten children: mother wrote of "group rape"

For example, the mother wrote verbatim in the chat group (translation from English) that her daughter's body and private parts were "covered with wounds".

According to Erös, in another chat there was even talk of “group rape”.

The incident happened on April 1st, according to lawyer Sven Nesbit, who represents another couple.

Since then, no evidence of any injuries to the girl has been presented, the lawyer explains.

There is also nothing to be found in the investigation file.

According to Nesbit, the mother unfairly criminalized the boys.

Assault allegations in Regensburg kindergarten: were there injuries or not?

According to information from our editorial team, a doctor's report is still being worked on, which has not yet been completed by the relevant clinic.

It remains unclear whether the alleged injuries are documented.

For Nesbit, however, it is at least astonishing that the girl was initially sent to the facility for the rest of the week, despite the incident that was so drastically described.

Nesbit and Erös justify the criminal complaint against the mother with the fact that she gave details in chats that would have made the children identifiable to the other parents.

Another incident in the kindergarten that happened a long time ago, which another mother in the chat group had indicated, has apparently not been confirmed.

According to a spokesman for the public prosecutor's office, the questioning of the woman did not reveal any evidence of criminally relevant behavior.

"She described a child-typical incident, which she herself did not classify as serious."

Allegations of a kindergarten mother: Investigations are still ongoing

Lawyer Ulrich Weber, who represents the girl's mother, does not want to comment on the case at this time.

One must first wait for the investigations by the police and the public prosecutor's office.

This had initially started investigations against the boys, but these were discontinued due to their age-related criminal immaturity.

After a criminal complaint was filed by the mother, further investigations were carried out into account of a possible violation of the duty of care by the kindergarten staff.
