The Hanover Regional Court ran out a dentist on Wednesday night after an eight-hour marathon session Kirchrode because of sexual harassment one patient to one Probation sentenced to six months. In addition, the doctor has to pay a total of 24,000 euros to the victim assistance foundation. Before the verdict shortly before 10 p.m., the trial threatened to turn into a farce. Originally, three trial days were scheduled for the main hearing. On Wednesday, trial day six lasted more than eight hours, partly because the medicine’s defense dragged the process out by filing a large number of motions. The woman affected by the attacks therefore had to face her alleged tormentor over and over again in the courtroom. “My client is still appalled by the man,” said lawyer Matthias Waldraff.
Patient held to the chest
Witness has to get master’s certificate
In court, the dentist proved that he has a very personal perception of reality. In the hall he claimed that the employee concerned was not a master dental technician when he hired her. When the young woman showed the judge a photo of her master craftsman’s certificate on the cell phone, which showed that the exam had been taken well before the appointment date, he doubted this fact. “Before I have to submit the application, Madam Chairperson, you can perhaps ask that the letter be presented to us on paper,” said lawyer Michael Dölprepresenting the dentist in the courtroom. The witness who testified that she had been harassed by the doctor had to go home to present her master’s certificate in the original on Wednesday.
“Dr. V., we don’t believe a word you say “
In her closing lectures on Wednesday at an advanced hour, the Public prosecutor a Probation Required of one year for the dentist while attorney Michael Dölp pleaded for acquittal for his client. The chamber of the regional court remained under the guilty verdict of the District court Hannover, but still found clear words. You don’t believe a word of the dentist, but everything from the patient.
