Overview
- Prosecutors say the 29-year-old officer groped a female colleague during a police raft trip in Berlin-Spandau in August 2025.
- The Staatsanwaltschaft Berlin filed formal charges on June 11, 2026 and lodged an indictment with Amtsgericht Tiergarten.
- Investigators allege the officer was intoxicated, a fellow colleague intervened and the accused then made a sexually insulting remark about the victim.
- The court must now decide whether to open trial proceedings and no hearing date has been set, and the defendant remains presumed innocent.
- The case highlights concerns about sexual misconduct and workplace culture in the police force and could prompt internal reviews or discipline once prosecutorial and court steps proceed.
