Stinky Attack – Filmed
“I don’t understand why the police explain that it was a bold attack that many people have seen. That they wanted to do it in public. It was dark at the time of the incident, at that time there were only the same people who had left the building together with Simonas Baltrušaitis. There were no other people around. Everything is filmed, “J. Biržiška told the portal kauno.diena.lt. The man also shared a video recording the implementation of his revenge plan.

“That night we stayed at work, we solved various problems, a colleague from abroad visited us. We left the building when it was already dark, we planned to go to dinner. My guest and I got into the car, and Simon and my son stayed by their cars. Then, already sitting in the car, I heard some kind of noise. I opened the window and asked them what had happened. I heard the reply that Simon was drenched in feces. He went back to the office with my son because he had to wash and change clothes ”, this is how one of the owners of the company described the incident of January 21 this year in court. He admitted that he hadn’t seen the action while sitting in the car, but everything that happened that day surprised him.

The punishment offered for sexual harassment would sound much worse. That is why, according to J. Biržiška, he was determined to carry out this extraordinary attack.
He closed in on himself
His life and that of his wife took a turn when the woman got a job at a Kaunas company in early June last year.
“After about a month and a half, I could barely recognize my other half. The old optimism was replaced by tears and total introspection,” the man recalled at the beginning of the dramatic story.
J.Biržiška said that he had repeatedly tried to ask his wife what problems were weighing her down, but at first the wife did not tell him what was happening at her workplace.
There was an attack at work
Hoping that everything would change, the Kaunas resident lived for more than a month, but the wife’s well-being, both psychological and physical, only deteriorated. Proof of this is the attack that affected Dawn on November 25 of last year. They took her from the workplace by ambulance.
“The aforementioned patient came to the Kaunas clinics due to nausea, numbness of the limbs and general weakness. These symptoms may have been caused by high blood pressure and stress. After the examination and treatment, the woman was discharged for outpatient treatment at home, ”confirmed Eglė Audickaitė, chief specialist of the Communication Service of the Kaunas Clinic, about the health problems of A.Biržiškien salud to the portal kauno.diena.lt. After the incident, the woman was also unable to work for several days, but when she finished and returned to work, they waited for her with another wink.
A.Biržiškiene learned that her husband told the kauno.diena.lt portal that he had to say goodbye to the company.
Was the director harassed?
The breakup, when A.Biržiškienė began to feel bad, happened after about a month and a half of fakes.
“The spouse had to go to a client, and his then director, Simonas Baltrušaitis, decided to go together. At dawn, this wish turned out to be strange, since the manager himself rarely visits customers, only in exceptional cases. This was not really the case. However, she was a newcomer to the company and was unwilling to object. Already during the trip, the director’s ambition became clear, ”says a Kaunas resident who remembers his wife’s story today.
John had to listen to the director’s jokes about himself, because his wife was asked if she had lovers; it is perfectly normal for a husband to have them.
Then he got completely upset and yelled that my wife would like to be supported on the hood of the car.
“Aušra said that he did not understand how to react to such comments from the manager, but after remembering the sexual laughter he had repeatedly heard, he decided not to pay attention in the office. But it did not end there, it only gained momentum. S.Baltrušaitis, already from On the way home from the aforementioned client, he turned towards the forest, where, according to him, there were “many pine trees and beautiful places.” Then he got very upset and said that he would like to put my wife on the hood of the car, “he hinted. the interlocutor to his wife about possible sexual allusions.
After this trip, A. Biržiškienė, who has been praised so far, became almost the worst employee; As the interlocutor suspects, the director did not get what he wanted and began to use psychological pressure.

The accusations are denied
The Kaunas resident, who had received feces from a family farmer and bathed his opponent in them, received a visit from officials immediately after the event.
“I immediately had an idea: S. Baltrušaitis sent officers directly to my house. Therefore, he knows that I did it, although he had never seen me. From this it can be concluded that he also knows what overwhelms him,” Jonas told his theoretical conclusions.
However, S. Baltrušaitis, who had been in contact with the kauno.diena.lt portal by phone a little earlier, categorically denied these accusations. When asked what should have happened then that J.Biržiška had invented such an extraordinary attack, he said that he still did not understand the motive for these actions.
“There are many layoffs, he says he did it for the layoff, even though he left. I was the CEO of that company, I didn’t even fire people. I can say that there is a lot of falsehood in their testimonies. to talk about this, maybe later, “he said.

Seeks to prove sexual harassment
However, A. Biržiškienė does not intend to sit with folded hands. She appealed to law enforcement for the actions of the now former boss. July 13 this year. the woman wrote a statement about possible sexual harassment against her. However, Daiva Guevenir, Principal Investigator of the 3rd Division of the Criminal Police Investigation Board of the Kaunas Criminal Police, decided not to initiate a pre-trial investigation as evidence was lacking. The officers reportedly contacted A. Biržiškienė’s colleagues, but the latter did not confirm the fact of the harassment.
However, it was decided to appeal against this decision. A. Biržiškienė’s lawyer, Jovita Vainilavičienė-Kulvinskienė, filed a complaint with the Prosecutor of the Kaunas Regional Public Prosecutor’s Office Virginija Vigelienė. More recently, the decision not to process this complaint was based on the fact that the complaint had been filed after the expiration of the appeal period.
J. Vainilavičienė-Kulvinskienė, a lawyer who contacted the kauno.diena.lt portal, assured that she did not agree with the prosecutor’s decision and appealed to the investigating judge.
