After almost 8 years: rapists arrested in Rosenheim!

Kunstmühlstraße, Rosenheim, Deutschland - On June 10, 2025, a suspected rapist was arrested in Rosenheim, who is said to be responsible for a shocking incident from 2017. According to [rosenheim24.de] (https://www.rosenheim24.de/rosenheim/polizeimessungen/rosenheim-polmi-nimmt-masslichen-verwert-Fest- 93778488.html), a 21-year-old woman was attacked on the dam on the dam to the Mangfall Canal on the night. The incident occurred early in the morning between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. when the victim was on the way home from the city center.

The Rosenheim criminal police took over the investigation together with the Traunstein public prosecutor. A special investigation group called "Mangfalldamm" was formed, which dealt intensively with the case. Despite extensive measures such as witness surveys and DNA analyzes, the identity of the perpetrator initially remained unknown. In the course of the investigation, in addition to the Rosenheim criminal police, the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office (BLKA), the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and Italian authorities were also involved.

Investigations over the years

Despite the years of effort to clarify the crime, the investigators could not find a suspect for a long time. Only after almost eight years did the case get a new turn. A successful trace led to the identification of the 43-year-old Romanian citizen. This was finally arrested in the Rosenheim district today, and a ceremony was issued against him, which was obtained by a judge at the Rosenheim district court at the request of the public prosecutor.

The alleged perpetrator is now brought to a correctional facility where he is brought before the responsible judge in order to decide on measures to make a detention. The investigation shows how difficult it is often to educate such offenses, especially when time passes and traces fade.

data on the situation in Germany

The problem of rape and sexual assault is not just a local, but a comprehensive social issue.

The statistics are updated regularly and are open to everyone, so that the public remains informed about the developments.

Overall, this case again makes it clear that the efforts to combat sexual violence must remain unbroken and over the years careful investigations are of great importance in order to achieve justice for the victims.
