Police Probe Suspected Rape of 17-Year-Old at Böblingen Airfield

Prosecutors say two suspects, ages 14 and 16, were released after brief detention due to a lack of grounds for custody.

Overview

  • The incident occurred late Thursday in a public restroom at the Böblingen airfield as the teenager was out with friends.
  • Investigators say the youths allegedly forced the victim into the facility and at least one of them assaulted her.
  • Bystanders intervened and stopped the attack, according to police and prosecutors.
  • Authorities in Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg have opened an investigation on suspicion of rape and have disclosed few additional details.
  • Because the suspects are minors, the case proceeds under juvenile procedures while evidence gathering continues.
