Scandal trial: Bremen contact police officer accused of sexual assault!
In Bremen, a 61-year-old contact police officer is standing before the district court on charges of sexual assault. The allegations are serious: two women accuse him of touching them against their will. The trial, which began in October 2025, could come to a crucial point today as pleas are to be made and the verdict is to be handed down, reports buten and within.
The two incidents in question here occurred in 2021. The defendant, who went to the women in his uniform, was involved in a serious power game that raises big questions about the relationship between the police and citizens. On July 22, 2021, he announced by telephone that he would check the model apartment of a 27-year-old. During his visit, he complimented and touched her, which led to further actions that he himself interpreted as consensual, however, as the woman described. She remained silent and didn't fight back, which only made the situation more complicated. A friend of the 27-year-old called the police, who were able to arrest the police officer in flagrante delicto as he and the victim were sitting on the bed together, according to reports District newspaper.
Shock and the consequences
The second witness, a 34-year-old woman from Bremen, initially chose silent resistance and only reported the incident later after reports about the contact police were on television. Her experience was one of shock when the police officer broke into her apartment and directly asked about intimate piercings. This invasive style left her fearful, broken from the sphere that had previously offered her safety. “I just felt helpless,” she said. Their silence was marked by shame and fear, highlighting the enormous pressure victims face when faced with situations such as reporting from buten and within shows.
The incidents not only raise serious questions about the defendant's actions, but also reflect the challenges women face in a world where assaults by those in positions of power are often not taken seriously. The length of time between the crimes and the reports from those affected illustrate the dilemma that many women face when it comes to trusting a system that is supposed to protect them. It remains to be seen what verdict will be made in this case and what conclusions will be drawn for the future of the contact police service in Bremen.
