This perpetrator-victim reversal is almost breathtaking: an alleged multiple rapist is on trial today in Wels. And the very women who joined forces to put a stop to him are said to be to blame.

He has a knack for women - as a dance teacher and mineral dealer. But the charmer (43) has an ugly dark side. On Monday, the accused stood trial in Wels for sexual assault, aggravated assault and five counts of rape. The accused, who has six previous convictions, pleaded not guilty.

According to an expert opinion, he has a combined personality disorder, is narcissistic and dissocial, as the public prosecutor explained: "He has two faces. If everything goes his way, he is sweet and nice. If that doesn't work, he uses violence."

A "G'spusi" who no longer wanted to sleep with him was tied up by the Tyrolean and strangled with a rope, according to the indictment.

Several women had joined forces to put a stop to it. Lawyer Michael Lanzinger relied on a kind of conspiracy theory: his client was the victim of these offended women. The verdict is still pending.
