Several women are making harsh accusations against a 43-year-old Upper Austrian man. The accused has now been in custody for three weeks and denies the allegations of rape. His victims found each other via social media, supported each other and handed over the incriminating material to the police.

He is a handsome "lad", sporty, self-confident and eloquent, and presents himself as a womanizer: but since 22 January, a 43-year-old man - last resident of Tyrol - has been in custody in Wels prison. The accused is accused of raping a 48-year-old woman twice in Vöcklabruck and Attnang between 2019 and mid-2020.
