Man apparently rapes 26-year-old woman: After days, she can alert the police through acquaintances
The 37-year-old is suspected of holding the 26-year-old against her will between October 15 and 19 and of having violated her, the Mosbach public prosecutor said on Thursday.
He is said to have had the help of his brother.
The two perpetrators were arrested after the 26-year-old managed to alert an acquaintance who called the police via the emergency number, it is said.
According to the investigation, the fate of the woman in the Neckar-Odenwald district could not be an isolated case: "In the meantime, other victims have been identified," said a spokesman for the public prosecutor's office.

reports on a total of four women who were discovered by the criminal police in the house in the Altheim development area.
"According to the current status of the investigation, the police and public prosecutor's office assume that there are other potential victims," the officials said.
The search of the alleged crime scene and the investigations confirmed this suspicion.

Since mid-October, police officers have searched the property several times for evidence, it is said.

The 23-year-old brother of the man who is said to have provided assistance was arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting.
