From December 3, 2020, a 47-year-old man must answer to the judge’s office in Olten-Gösgen SO, who is accused of sexual assaults against children. The man has a criminal record for similar offenses.
According to the notification, the Solothurn prosecutor’s office mainly accuses the Swiss of “having committed sexual acts with three children in Olten between July and November 2018.” Some of the acts are classified as multiple coercion and multiple desecration.
The man is also said to have sexually abused two teenagers and was guilty of harsh pornography. The criminal motions of the prosecution and defense will be announced at the main hearing. The hearing is scheduled for two days.
Relevant criminal record
The man, who has been detained since the end of November 2018, has a relevant criminal record. The new crimes that the man is charged with occurred while the ambulatory measure was being carried out.
He has a criminal record for sexual offenses committed between May 1994 and 1996. After an eight-year-old girl was raped in the canton of Solothurn in 2006, the Olten-Gösgen judges office sentenced him to five years in prison, postponed for receive hospital treatment.
The Swiss remained in prison for ten years and completed 239 therapy sessions. They were unsuccessful because the man refused. The risk of relapse of the child molester was classified as “moderate to high”. According to the report, he is a pedophile.
The man resisted an extension of hospital therapy in court. The Solothurn Superior Court decided that the measure should be lifted. The Solothurn Bureau of Prisons filed a request for subsequent custody. However, for formal legal reasons, there was no trial.
Authorities criticized
The man was released at the end of 2016 following a higher court decision, until he was arrested again in November 2018 after new alleged events. The behavior of the Solothurn authorities was criticized and investigated at the instigation of the Solothurn government.
The investigation presented by the governing council in September 2019 showed that the prosecution and the prison department had not behaved improperly. The employees had either complied with their legal mandates in fulfilling their legal mandates or had worked legally and proportionately in the execution of court decisions, according to the report.
The cooperation between the authorities “worked well.” The authorities did everything that was legally possible and permissible. However, there are loopholes in federal law.
