Jörn P. (43) had spent 19 years in prison for raping several women before a judge ordered his release, ignoring the warnings of experts that he was likely to re-offend.
The sex offender was set free to walk the streets in search of his next victim.
Everyone in the court room knew the criminal was dangerous. Jörn P. had been in jail since 1990 for repeatedly attacking women.
And yet a judge set him free him eight months ago – even though public prosecutors and experts had explicitly warned that he could attack again.
Only 61 days after his release Jörn P. was back in court for raping yet another woman. He is considered extremely high risk and so was under constant police observation in court.
Jörn P. lived in an apartment block shared by several families and knew Sandra (18, name changed) from the neighbourhood. Pretending there was a problem with his computer, he lured her into his flat, where he tied her up and raped her. The 18-year-old office administrator was his fifth victim. Bild
