Eight out of nine young men convicted of gang-raping a heavily intoxicated 15-year-old girl in a Hamburg city park will not face prison time, in a verdict that has sparked widespread outrage in Germany and threats against the judge and lawyers involved in the case.
Hamburg Regional Court last week sentenced a 19-year-old to a youth prison sentence of two years and nine months without parole, while youth sentences of one to two years’ probation, or so-called pre-parole, were imposed on eight men, Spiegel reported.

Berlin, Nov 29 (EFE). – The Association of Judges of Hamburg (northern Germany) on Wednesday strongly condemned the “unbearable harassment” of the judge who a day earlier sentenced the defendants in a case of gang rape of a minor.
“The Hamburg Judges’ Association, as the union of Hamburg judges and prosecutors, is appalled by the intolerable harassment of a colleague who, in this difficult case, fulfilled the task assigned to her by the Basic Law,” the statement said.
On Tuesday, the court sentenced several defendants, aged between 19 and 23, who had raped a 15-year-old girl in September 2020.
The men took advantage of the fact that the teenager showed significant symptoms of alcohol intoxication during a local festival.
