Gauting - In the early hours of October 3, a 19-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in the main square in Gauting.
A witness reported suspicious sightings to police around 3:30 a.m.
When a patrol crew from the Gauting police station arrived there a little later, two people, a 19-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man, were found.
Initial investigations revealed that the man was strongly suspected of having committed sexual acts on the victim against the woman's will.

The 27-year-old was then provisionally arrested and, at the request of the Munich II public prosecutor's office, brought before the responsible magistrate on suspicion of rape.
He ordered the suspect to be held in custody.
In the meantime, the Munich I public prosecutor's office has taken over the further investigations due to the detention responsibility there.
The Fürstenfeldbruck Criminal Investigation Department asks that witnesses who may have made observations (proximities, attempts to initiate) prior to the crime that could be related to the crime that followed should report them to the telephone number 08141-612-0.
