If the indictment from the Vienna public prosecutor’s office is correct, the 17-year-old K. is a very dangerous defendant despite his young age. From August 2023 to August 1, 2025, he is said to have beaten, choked, insulted and threatened his mother and his now twelve-year-old half-sister every two to three days. He now faces up to seven and a half years in prison for his continued use of violence against the underage girl, which is why the case is being heard by a jury chaired by Andreas Hautz.
