On Sunday afternoon around 12:15 p.m., a 26-year-old woman was the victim of a sexual assault. According to police, the crime occurred in the area of Breisacher Strasse in Freiburg.
According to previous investigations, a cyclist suddenly spoke to the woman who had not been known to him until then. He used an excuse to lure her to a nearby underground car park.
There the man abused his victim. The woman managed to escape when the man was inattentive and called passers-by for help.

The suspected perpetrator was initially able to leave the crime scene undetected. The Freiburg criminal police discovered him the following day due to intensive investigations. The person wanted is a 61-year-old German.
As it turned out, the suspect was already in criminal custody for sexual offenses due to a 1997 ruling by the Stuttgart Regional Court and had been in preventive detention at the Freiburg Correctional Facility since 2009.
According to reports, the suspected perpetrator was able to stay in the city unaccompanied
The detainee has been granted prison opening measures since May 2023. At the time of the crime, he was in the city unaccompanied due to an exit approved by the Freiburg Correctional Facility.
An arrest warrant was issued against the suspect by the Freiburg district court yesterday, Tuesday. He has been in custody ever since.
