Overview
- The Süddeutsche Zeitung reported Friday that three women told its investigators they each had intimate encounters with Wecker when they were 17, citing incidents dated around 1990, 2005 and 2014.
- None of the women accuse Wecker of a criminal offense; their accounts center on the large age gap and the power imbalance between a celebrated musician and young fans.
- The paper says it vetted the accounts over months using diaries, messages, sworn statements and interviews with confidants and that at least one case includes traceable payments of about €5,000 from an associate.
- Wecker previously acknowledged and apologized for a relationship with a 15‑year‑old reported in November 2025 and has since been represented by a lawyer who says a medical certificate makes him currently unable to answer questions.
- The women describe lasting psychological harm and therapy; the reports deepen public scrutiny of boundaries between artists and fans and may prompt more survivors to speak and further media reporting.
