Doctors as sex offenders II

Vedran B. (45) was caught in the spring to the first time. After a week he was left again to defenseless patients.
To the idea of being abused in a helpless state of a nurse is terrible. But apparently is exactly what happens in the recovery room of the hospital for ear, nose, throat and facial surgery at the University Hospital Zurich.

A woman had filed a complaint.
But GLANCE learned from the hospital environment that was noticed as early as Vedran spring of this year. “A hospital employee who has been operated on himself, announced that she had been touching her inappropriately in the recovery room after surgery,” says an insider.

The woman had informed the hospital management about it. The nurse said to have been suspended out of service. But after a week he was allowed to work again. Apparently, the explosive case, the police had not been reported. Should be about the scandal hushed up? The University Hospital wants to take no position. Only this: “The University Hospital is working in the current investigation closely with the authorities,” says spokeswoman Barbara Beccaro. “Basically, the presumption of innocence.”

Vedran B. was only on 14 September arrested. He sits under strong suspicions in custody. Until the arrest of the nurse who lived with his wife and baby in an apartment building in Zurich-Altstetten. His wife would say nothing. “I have only come to rest”

A former good friend of the caretaker can not imagine that as Vedran took advantage of patients. “He did not even necessary. He always had a lot of women. ”

If doctors are dismissed for sexual assaults, they just change the hospital. Now experts are calling a national offender registry.
The Basel psychiatrist Werner Chan estimates that annually 15 000 sexual assaults occur in health care. The problem: “It is almost never spoken of a prohibition. There are at most dismissals with the result that someone changes the hospital or province in order to continue working, “Chan says,” to the “Rundschau. Thus, the physician works after his conviction in another city, Schaffhausen.
This will in future no longer be possible: Chan calls for a national registry for convicted sex offender in health care. Support he receives from leading exponents in health care. “Those who have committed sexual assault is not allowed to work more as a nurse or doctor,” says Hans Kurt, president of the Swiss Society for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy.

Only about five percent have filed charges. An EU-wide study, which was evaluated for the national statistics for the period 2001 to 2007 found that about 8,000 rapes are reported annually in Germany. In 1400 cases per year, charges were filed, the conviction rate was 13 percent.

In other countries the problem is false accusation marginal and ranges between 1-9 percent.

For two years the service trainees and the dark-haired Jens were a couple. Tenderly, he was, she says, but also dominant. Your first love just. That he was still beside her, a pregnant lover may not believe Denise. Nor that it is a wife for years. The time now is five months pregnant, has been with Jens J. a three year old son.

In this isosceles love triangle, he shuttled between wife and mistress.

Did he meet with one, he told the others that he had “mounted on” – while he was unemployed for months.

But the women loved the charming Jens. He gave them the feeling of being special and not sparing with compliments. At the time he spent with them, he shot the women. Also liked the forest in an erotic pose. Later, he ordered the pictures of trophies, put on an album for each. Were there some confrontations, he scattered – like Bianca P. – the doubt with an engagement ring.

None of them suspected that Jens. J. had ever been convicted of three and a half years in prison. As a 19-year-old he had the car cut through the brake line to his girlfriend. The woman noticed the stop before there was an accident.

Doctors as sex offenders: some cases from Switzerland

Two interesting articles about sexual molestation by doctors.

Only a fraction of the cases are prosecuted. The demand from authorities of cantons, however, shows that the number of patients who lodge complaints is extremely low. In the canton of Basel-Stadt, there are about seven per year and one in four years in Schaffhausen and Basel country even only one in ten years. A fraction of these were for conviction. “Many women shy away from a display. It is embarrassing to them, or they have “fear of the perpetrator, says the Zug Cantonal physician Rudolf Hauri. Women lack the confidence in the authorities that they touch the perpetrator hard enough.
In order to punish offenders effectively, it needs good grip laws. Basel city has them, but they used to, according to Chan, “or not consistently enough”: Penalties of fines up to withdrawal of approval could be made practical. Elsewhere, this is not in the canton of Basel-Land, for example, the Public Health Act dates from 1974 and provides for no such graded measures. Only if an offender has been convicted, he may, the authorities “due to bad reputation” withdraw the permit. Therefore be it in a recent case, “hands are tied,” says Canton doctor Dominik Schorr.
Unlike in Canada, where a specific surveillance authority acts: This approach facilitates the rapid against offenders. In the province of Ontario, for example, sex offenders by name will be published on the Internet: Philippe Carriere, Keith Caughell or Ian Clemens – three out of dozens of doctors to whom the license was revoked for several months. All also had to pay fines of up to 12,000 francs, partly in a fund will be financed from the therapies for sex offenders. “In Switzerland, virtually all sex offenders sentenced to treatment, not just doctors,” says Chan.

Der Beobachter deckte im August eine Sexaffäre an der renommierten Psychiatrischen Universitätsklinik Basel auf: Eine Patientin beschuldigt den damaligen ärztlichen Vizedirektor der Klinik, sie jahrelang zu Sex gedrängt zu haben. Doch der Mediziner rettete sich Ende Februar 2003 in die Frühpension. Die verantwortlichen Behörden und selbst die Basler Staatsanwaltschaft stellten die Untersuchungen ein, der Psychiatrieprofessor kam ohne Strafe davon. Jetzt ist die Geschäftsprüfungskommission des Grossen Rates aktiv geworden und prüft das Vorgehen der Behörden. Und Basels Justiz muss das Verfahren wiederaufnehmen (siehe nachfolgende Box «Behandlung mit Sex bezahlt»).

Der Professor ist nicht der einzige Arzt, der von den Basler Behörden mit Samthandschuhen angefasst worden ist. Auch einem 61-jährigen Psychiater, der in Basel eine Privatpraxis hat, wird von einer Patientin vorgeworfen, sie mehrfach vergewaltigt zu haben. Doch am 22. Februar 2006 sprach ihn das Basler Strafgericht frei: Die Vergewaltigungen könnten nicht nachgewiesen werden, andere Tatbestände seien verjährt. Die Medizinische Gesellschaft Basel hielt es für erwiesen, dass er das Abhängigkeitsverhältnis sexuell ausgenützt hat. Sie schloss ihn deshalb wegen Verstosses gegen die Standesordnung am 8. Mai 2007 aus ihren Reihen aus.

Auch das Basler Gesundheitsdepartement hätte es in der Hand gehabt, den Psychiater zu sanktionieren. Die Gesetze des Kantons schliessen auch bei einem Freispruch nicht aus, die Bewilligung zur Berufsausübung einzuschränken oder zu entziehen. Doch die Recherche des Beobachters zeigt: Massnahmen gegen den Sextäter blieben bis heute aus. So therapiert er weiterhin ahnungslose Patientinnen. Fragen dazu beantwortet das Gesundheitsdepartement nicht. Es laufe «ein Verfahren», deshalb könne er nicht Auskunft erteilen, behauptet Departementssekretär Philipp Waibel.

Auch den Fall eines Basler Hals-Nasen-Ohren-Arztes halten die Behörden unter dem Deckel: Der Professor hatte mit einer Patientin über Jahre in seinem Sprechzimmer im Kantonsspital Basel Geschlechtsverkehr. Er habe die Notlage der Patientin ausgenützt, befand das Gericht und verurteilte ihn am 15. August 2003 zu zwölf Monaten Gefängnis bedingt. Zwar musste der Professor seinen Sessel im Kantonsspital räumen, er praktiziert jedoch an privater Adresse bis heute weiter. Es seien «einschneidende aufsichtsrechtliche Massnahmen» ergriffen worden, sagt das Basler Gesundheitsdepartement. Die Antwort auf die Frage, welche dies sind, bleibt das Amt aber einmal mehr schuldig.

Nicht nur Basel, auch andere Kantone haben ihre Sextäter in Weiss. Wie oft allerdings Ärzte Patientinnen sexuell missbrauchen, ist nicht bekannt: Weder das Bundesamt für Gesundheit noch die Ärztevereinigung FMH haben je Umfragen gemacht. Es seien jährlich etwa 14’000 Menschen, die Opfer eines Übergriffs durch medizinisches Personal werden, sagt der Basler Psychiater Werner Tschan, der sich seit Jahren im Kampf gegen Sextäter engagiert. Mangels Daten war er gezwungen, die Zahl mit Angaben aus dem kanadischen Ontario hochzurechnen, wo bei einer Befragung durch das Gesundheitsministerium 110’000 von elf Millionen Menschen von sexuellen Übergriffen berichteten. In der Schweiz lässt einzig eine Umfrage von 1994 das Ausmass erahnen: 17 Prozent der Pfleger und elf Prozent der Pflegerinnen von psychiatrischen Kliniken erklärten, Sex mit Patientinnen oder Patienten gehabt zu haben.

Die Nachfrage bei Behörden verschiedener Kantone zeigt jedoch: Die Zahl der Patientinnen, die Anzeige erstatten, ist äusserst gering. Im Kanton Basel-Stadt sind es etwa sieben pro Jahr, in Zug und in Schaffhausen eine in vier Jahren und in Baselland gar nur eine in zehn Jahren. Ein Bruchteil davon gelangt zur Verurteilung. «Viele Frauen schrecken vor einer Anzeige zurück. Es ist ihnen peinlich, oder sie haben Angst vor dem Täter», sagt der Zuger Kantonsarzt Rudolf Hauri. Frauen fehle auch das Vertrauen in die Behörden, dass diese die Täter hart genug anfassen.

Um Täter wirksam sanktionieren zu können, braucht es griffige Gesetze. Basel-Stadt hat sie, wendet sie jedoch laut Tschan «nicht oder zu wenig konsequent» an: Sanktionen von Bussen bis hin zum Entzug der Praxisbewilligung wären möglich. Andernorts geht das gar nicht: Im Kanton Baselland zum Beispiel datiert das Gesundheitsgesetz aus dem Jahr 1974 und sieht keine solchen abgestuften Massnahmen vor. Nur wenn ein Täter rechtskräftig verurteilt worden ist, können ihm die Behörden «wegen schlechten Leumunds» die Bewilligung entziehen. Ihm seien deshalb in einem aktuellen Fall «die Hände gebunden», sagt Kantonsarzt Dominik Schorr.

Anders in Kanada, wo eine spezielle Überwachungsbehörde agiert: Dies erleichtert das schnelle Vorgehen gegen Täter. In der Provinz Ontario zum Beispiel werden Sextäter mit Namen im Internet publiziert: Philippe Carriere, Keith Caughell oder Ian Clemes – drei von Dutzenden von Ärzten, denen die Bewilligung für mehrere Monate entzogen wurde. Alle mussten zudem Bussen von bis zu 12’000 Franken bezahlen, teils in einen Fonds, aus dem Therapien für Sextäter finanziert werden. «In der Schweiz werden praktisch alle Sexualstraftäter zu Therapien verdonnert, nur Ärzte nicht», sagt Tschan.

He later confessed to her that now and then he used  to have sexual intercourse with patients while they were in an anesthetic coma. But no one should ever know anything of it. Eventually, she could not take it no more and went to a therapist who strongly advised her to notify the authorities. But Anne Marie M. has fear: You may submit any evidence at all risks, she may be displayed for defamation herself.

In this country, the perpetrators often enjoy more protection than the victims, if it ever comes to process, the judges go, mostly men, often of consensual acts, the victim was an adult and showed by his silence, that it was in agreement. Thus, the process ends with an acquittal.

Many victims suffer from the interviews re-traumatization. And often it’s so long that the deeds are now barred. One such example is the Zurich Surgery Professor Werner Glinz, whose fall in 1995 went through the press. He under the pretext of infection  carried out examinations in the genital area.

Long a taboo subject

While many states now know laws, which are border violations punishable, the topic had been taboo in local medical circles. After years of debate now begins the Swiss Society for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, a paradigm shift. In a position paper, she writes: “There are a psychiatrist or a psychiatrist, which are responsible for compliance with the disciplinary boundaries, even if such patients and patients want sexual contact.”

Hope awakens the new federal law on medical professions. Instead of a fallible doctor immediately to issue prohibition, which happened rarely, the regional medical officers since pronounce the end of 2007 graduated sanctions – disciplinary referrals, administrative fines of up to 20,000 francs, new, etc. Also, that such measures take an entry in the Swiss Medizinalberuferegister after themselves. Until now, the new law, however, has been negligible. And subject to the hospital doctors continue to cantonal law.

Thematize rather than deny

A paradigm shift calls psychiatrist Werner Tschan by the judiciary. Way of a misunderstood sexual self-determination and towards Opferrespektierung: “The judges are the helplessness, despair and pain to see what has caused the perpetrator to the victim, a professional who has made his treatment order simply incorrect.”

Effective prevention would, however: More information for patients. And above all, should include the topic in the education and training of physicians. “Sexual feelings,” says Chan, “must be a normal part of human relations are addressed instead of the previous denial.” Practical case studies are designed to sensitize the medical risk situations. Likewise, prevention programs are for Chan insightful offender.

And the victims? He strongly recommends you: Are you looking for some help. Talk about the experience. Because silence will encourage the perpetrators.

Annemarie M. leidet an Morbus Crohn, einer Magen-Darm-Krankheit, die sie körperlich und seelisch stark belastet. Ihre Erleichterung war gross, als sie endlich einen guten Spezialarzt fand. Mit der Zeit verliebte sie sich in ihn. «Zuerst», sagt sie, «war es wunderschön, wie ein Extrageschenk.» Doch mit der Zeit erfuhr sie, dass der Arzt auch mit anderen Patientinnen intim war. «Er sagte, ohne Beziehungen zu seinen Patientinnen sei sein Leben leer.» Später gestand er ihr gar, ab und zu benutze er die Untersuchungsnarkose, um sexuell mit Patientinnen zu verkehren. Doch davon dürfe niemand je etwas erfahren.

Für Annemarie M. brach eine Welt zusammen. Sie machte sich schwere Vorwürfe. Warum hatte sie so lange nichts gemerkt? Irgendwann hielt sie es nicht mehr aus und ging zu einer Therapeutin. Diese riet ihr dringend, den Arzt anzuzeigen. Doch Annemarie M. hat Angst: Sie kann keine Beweise vorlegen, riskiert gar, wegen Rufschädigung selber angezeigt zu werden.

Selbstvorwürfe, Scham und Schweigen – ein typischer Verlauf, bestätigt Rudolf Hauri, Vorstandsmitglied der Vereinigung der Kantonsärztinnen und -ärzte der Schweiz, welche als Aufsichtsbehörde über die Medizinalberufe amtet. «Von den meisten Patientinnen hören wir gar nichts», sagt Hauri. Und sogar wenn sich handfeste Hinweise auf sexuelle Übergriffe finden, schreckten die meisten Opfer vor einer Strafanzeige zurück.

Tatsächlich kam es laut schweizerischer Kriminalitätsstatistik in den letzten zehn Jahren im Schnitt lediglich zu elf Verurteilungen im Jahr wegen Ausnützung von Abhängigen. «In der Realität müssten es jedoch über tausend Verurteilungen sein», sagt der Basler Psychiater Werner Tschan. Er befasst sich seit Jahren mit sexuellen Grenzverletzungen in Behandlungssituationen.

Wie gering das Risiko für Sexualtäter in Weiss ist, entdeckt zu werden, rechnete Tschan anhand des kanadischen Health Monitorings aus dem Jahr 1999 aus: Während es für einen «normalen» Täter etwa bei einem Prozent liegt, sind es bei missbrauchenden Fachleuten gerade noch ein Promille. In der Schweiz existieren keine einschlägigen Befragungen. Aufgrund internationaler Studien geht Tschan jedoch davon aus, dass auch hierzulande drei Prozent aller Gesundheitsfachleute sexuelle Übergriffe begehen. 75 Prozent davon sind Männer, ein grosser Teil Wiederholungstäter. Bei den Opfern handelt es sich zu drei Vierteln um Frauen.

Hierzulande geniessen die Täter oft mehr Schutz als die Opfer: Wenn es überhaupt zu einem Verfahren kommt, gehen die Richter, meistens Männer, häufig von konsensuellen Handlungen aus: Das Opfer sei erwachsen und habe mit seinem Schweigen gezeigt, dass es einverstanden sei. So endet das Verfahren mit einem Freispruch.

Viele Opfer erleiden durch die Befragungen eine erneute Traumatisierung. Und häufig geht alles so lange, dass die Taten inzwischen verjährt sind. Ein solches Beispiel ist der Zürcher Chirurgieprofessor Werner Glinz, dessen Fall 1995 durch die Presse ging. Er hatte unter dem Vorwand der Infektionsabklärung Untersuchungen im Intimbereich vorgenommen, obwohl es letztlich um Knieoperationen ging.

Some misc. news articles from the Swiss press about gender and related isssues.

A Swiss gynecologist who raped and sexually molested his patients and served a prison sentence later worked for a student club in a service project. The sponsors were unaware. In the Caribbean and San Salvador  the former rapist treated children and adults in a Zurich student aid project. The entrance to the student organization was made possible by his daughter and her husband. Both sit on the board. The students, however, who traveled to the Caribbean with Claudio A. had no idea about the past lives of their older “colleague”.

After his prison sentence, he relapsed and raped a 17-year old Brazilian. He then hired a killer to kill the young woman. But instead he was informing the police. The rapist was convicted for attempted incitement to murder and rape with a further nine years in prison.

He was funneled by family members in association

But how did the rapist, get into the student club? It’s simple: His son is president, his daughter Vice President.

An international NGO who operates a Children’s Village in San Salvador, did not know the second face of the Swiss benefactor. Claudio A. children treated there as well for the organization.

The Leader of the Swiss Foundation is shocked. “Of course we knew nothing,” he says. “Mr. A. is certainly no longer participating in such a project. Children enjoy special protection anyway. I had relied on the President of the Student Association. He was the son of Mr. A. He told me that he does not any more practice. So I thought he was retired.”

And what does the board of the Student Association say? “We believe that this thing is not a story for the media. In addition, I note that in the operations of the person you mentioned and your mentioned offense  there is no connection, “writes the club president and son of Claudio A.  He suppose that is the “right to forget.”

Due to the Blick.ch searches the name “Claudio” on the club blog has been deleted. The names of all association management have also disappeared from the site.

André Reithebuch is the Mister Schweiz (Mister Switzerland) of 2009.

New sex allegations against him include several women saying that the Mister was groping at their breasts and butt. The Mister denies that it happened. On the other hand,  the committee for Mister Switzerland disallows the Misters to take part in gay pride parades, so that there are no rumours about the sexual orientation of the Misters, giving them ‘bad press’.

The Brazilian authorities are investigating now because of human beings against Daniel A.

The DSK case

IMF chief Strauss-Kahn, who was accused raping a woman in a hotel in New York, previously also tried to rape 21 year old french journalist Tristane Banon. She didn’t go to court at that time, because she feared to lose her good reputation, that no one would believe her, because of familial entanglements, and/or because of pressure.

At the IMF, he also coerced workers like economist Piroska Nagy into a sexual affair.

Besides his position as chief of the IMF, he was also a promising candidate for the French presidency.

DSK’s lawyers claim to be astonished of the accusations because of the not so good looks of his alleged victims.

In the hours and days that followed the arrest, a string of friends and Socialist allies stepped forward to defend a man they insisted could not have done such a thing. Jean-François Kahn, a well-known journalist, said he was “practically certain” that what had taken place had not been an attempted rape, but “an imprudence… the skirt-lifting of a domestic”. Jack Lang, a former Socialist culture minister, wondered why, when “no man had died”, Strauss-Kahn had not been released on bail immediately. Philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy, meanwhile, raged against a legal system that had treated DSK like “any other person”. “Everybody,” declared the philosopher, “is not everybody!”
When asked in 2006 about her husband’s “passion for women”, Strauss-Kahn’s third wife, Anne Sinclair, told L’Express magazine: “I’m proud of it! It’s important for a politician to be able to seduce.”
Stepping into the fray came the formidable Gisèle Halimi, a women’s rights activist and lawyer, who, at the age of 84, declared in an interview she was “convinced” that “if this [DSK] business had occurred in France, we would have known nothing about it”.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/22/dominique-strauss-kahn-arrest-dormant-anger-france-women

A german lawyer when asked about DSK claims there can be no oral rape:

Asked about the scandal surrounding Dominique Strauss-Kahn had this to say: “If it was said that: oral sex. Then I ask myself, of course, you personally as a woman … so I do not necessarily make oral sex with a man, if I do not want. And even if he grabs me by the hair, I do not. I can sometimes bite. I’m not the delivery. I can defend myself well. ”
Gisela Friedrichsen is known for being on the side of the perpetrator strikes and defamed the victim as a liar. You will certainly remember the case of Andreas Tuerck. As such, they would need to know, can run as an oral rape. The witness had been more than clear for the record: “He pushed me to my knees, took Arguably, the second hand. He hit my head to the bridge railing. I saw sparks in front of my eyes. Then he put his penis in my mouth. I was numb with fear and from the blow. I was in shock and panic. The next thing I know was that he did then pulled up again sometime. ”
Mrs. Friedrichsen had at that time the criminal case against the TV host for a “totally unnecessary process” on hold. The (unproven) crime she described as a harmless encounter: Andreas Tuerck was “one fine summer evening in August 2002, oral sex on the Frankfurt Honsellbrücke from a then 26-year-old bank employee.” Mrs. Friedrichsen confused here sexual violence with consensual sex. Absurd to believe that forced oral sex takes place, as well as intentional, that the woman it takes a proactive role and thus can decide whether or not it bites.

Befragt zu der Affäre um Dominique Strauss-Kahn hatte sie folgendes zu sagen: „Wenn es da hieß: Oralsex. Da frage ich mich natürlich ganz persönlich als Frau… also ich muss nicht unbedingt Oralsex bei einem Mann machen, wenn ich nicht will. Und auch wenn er mich an den Haaren packt, muss ich es nicht machen. Ich kann auch mal zubeißen. Ich bin dem nicht ausgeliefert. Ich kann mich durchaus wehren.“
Gisela Friedrichsen ist bekannt dafür, dass sie sich auf die Seite der Täter schlägt und die Opfer als Lügner diffamiert. Sie wird sich sicherlich noch an den Fall Andreas Türck erinnern. Von daher müsste sie doch wissen, wie eine orale Vergewaltigung ablaufen kann. Das hatte die Zeugin mehr als deutlich zu Protokoll gegeben: „Er drückte mich auf die Knie, nahm dabei wohl auch die zweite Hand. Dabei schlug er mir den Kopf ans Brückengeländer. Ich sah Funken vor meinen Augen. Dann steckte er sein Glied in meinen Mund. Ich war benommen vor Angst und von dem Schlag. Ich stand unter Schock und Panik. Das nächste, was ich weiß, war, dass er mich dann irgendwann wieder hochzog.“
Frau Friedrichsen hatte damals das Strafverfahren gegen den TV-Moderator für einen „völlig unnötigen Prozess” gehalten. Das (nicht nachgewiesene) Verbrechen beschrieb sie als eine harmlose Begegnung: Andreas Türck ließ „sich eines schönen Sommerabends im August 2002 auf der Frankfurter Honsellbrücke von einer damals 26-jährigen Bankangestellten oral befriedigen”. Frau Friedrichsen verwechselt hier sexuelle Gewalt mit einvernehmlichen Sex. Absurd zu glauben, dass erzwungener Oralverkehr genauso abläuft wie gewollter, dass die Frau dabei den aktiven Part einnimmt und damit auch entscheiden kann, ob sie zubeißt oder nicht.

Feminists in France have talked a lot about this case:

We are witnesses of sexist and reactionary reflexes of parts of the elite of France, “says the statement on Saturday on the website” was published in Le Monde. “It was signed by more than 1000 women.
“There is a certain laxity in France when it comes to such unbridled sexism,” it said. In France, every year 75,000 women were raped, only ten percent said they would file charges. The use of sexist language in the public would trivialize the seriousness of the offenses, they would rape a more or less acceptable act.

The way the story is treated in France by the media and politicians, casts a light on something that we knew long ago: unbridled sexism, “said the feminist Magali de Haas, the” Guardian “.
In its statement, the women’s rights groups relate specifically to a few remarks. Some of the former culture minister and Strauss-Kahn, Jack Lang allies. He said that former IMF chief had earlier released on bail to come, was finally “nobody died”. The journalist Jean-François Kahn denied that Strauss-Kahn, could have raped the woman because he is “virtually certain”. Strauss-Kahn was an “indiscretion” undermine “the rock pulling up at a staff.”

“This kind of language generates an intolerable confusion between sexual freedom and violence against women,” write the feminists. “Acts of violence, rape, attempted rape and molestation are testimony to the desire of men to rule over the bodies of women.”

Wir sind Zeugen von sexistischen und reaktionären Reflexen von Teilen der Elite Frankreichs”, heißt es in der Erklärung, die am Samstag auf der Internetseite von “Le Monde” veröffentlicht wurde. Sie wurde von mehr als 1000 Frauen unterzeichnet.
“Es gibt eine gewisse Laxheit in Frankreich, wenn es zu solch ungehemmtem Sexismus kommt”, heißt es weiter. In Frankreich würden jedes Jahr 75.000 Frauen vergewaltigt, nur zehn Prozent würden Anzeige erstatten. Die Verwendung von sexistischer Sprache in der Öffentlichkeit würde die Schwere der Taten verharmlosen, sie würde Vergewaltigung zu einem mehr oder weniger akzeptablen Akt machen.

Die Art, wie die Geschichte in Frankreich von Medien und Politikern behandelt wird, wirft ein Licht auf etwas, von dem wir schon lange wussten: entfesselten Sexismus”, sagte die Feministin Magali de Haas dem “Guardian”.
In ihrer Erklärung beziehen sich die Frauenrechtsgruppen konkret auf einige Äußerungen. Etwa auf den ehemaligen Kulturminister und Strauss-Kahn-Verbündeten Jack Lang. Der sagte, dass der ehemalige IWF-Chef früher auf Kaution hätte freikommen sollen, schließlich sei “niemand gestorben”. Der Journalist Jean-François Kahn bestritt, dass Strauss-Kahn die Frau vergewaltigt haben könnte, da sei er sich “praktisch sicher”. Strauss-Kahn sei eine “Unbedachtsamkeit” unterlaufen: “das Rock-Hochziehen bei einer Bediensteten”.

“Diese Art von Sprache erzeugt einen nicht tolerierbare Verwechslung von sexueller Freiheit und Gewalt gegen Frauen”, schreiben die Feministinnen. “Gewalttaten, Vergewaltigung, versuchte Vergewaltigung und Belästigung sind Zeugnis für das Begehren der Männer, über die Körper der Frauen zu bestimmen.”

She’s going to pay an awfully large price for this. Women who report assault in the future are going to suffer the consequences of being human beings with spotty histories and personal imperfections and character flaws and terrible past decisions. And we’re going to collectively wonder why men feel like they can assault women without repercussion, and why so few women report being raped.

The case Hirschmann

The case Hirschmann has been prominent in the Swiss press. Carl Hirschmann is the son a a rich entrepreneur, who owned the St. Germain nightclub.

Many women have claimed that they were sexually molested by him (google translation):

They would talk in a restaurant just because Carl lured on the pretext that he wanted to show her something, a few meters around the corner. Pulled her into a room, locked the door. Outside, moved into a bodyguard position. Then Hirschmann had forced her to oral sex. “Total disturbed” Pascale left the crime scene, dared from “fear and shame,” not only to the police.

Meanwhile there is also the display of Maria C., that of the 28-year old in his club, “Saint Germain” also should have forced oral sex. When she refused, Carl broke her nose.

Another woman turns to the officials, and again it comes to sexual assault. But Hirschmann money and they can jump withdraw the accusation. Therefore says his ex-girlfriend, Lisa M., Carl had beaten her.

Off the record sources report from Hirsch’s environment, he forced a lot more women for oral sex. This will, however, do not report.

The ‘Platinum Room’ at the Saint Germain – it is Hirsch’s dark realm. A visitor saw it firsthand: “I met Carl at the club. He asked me if I was like “drinking with him. What followed was pure horror: “He took me into the Room> <Platinum. When he graduated from the door, crept over me a queasy feeling. But when he grabbed me by the throat and then I wanted to satisfy him orally, I struggled and stormed out. “

According to indictment should have Hirschmann in 2008 forced a young woman on the roof of the club for oral sex. When they bite into his penis with a resisted, he tore her hair, choked her and hit her with his fist in the face.

In another case, he had gone off with kicks to a young woman, it is said in the indictment. In the 2008 summer holidays in France, he should have his former girlfriend, a model for head and belly kicked and choked her, because she did not tell him who she phoned. After that he had instilled her a sleeping pill because she was shaken by sobs. Out of sheer fear she had not dared to oppose him, the indictment. A few weeks later they showed him – although he threatened her, according to the indictment, to beat them and make sex videos of her on the Internet.

Early August 2011, announced that Carl Hirschmann is rebuffed in federal court. The 30-year-old struggled against to deposit half a million as a guarantee of peace. The payment should ensure that Hirschmann is doing in the next two years, his ex-girlfriend no violence. Hirschmann had threatened to 2009, he would beat the crap in front of everyone (“beat the shit out of her in front of everyone”).

The incident took place according to the indictment of May 2008. Martina F. recalls, according to the lawyer that she wanted the Club Saint Germain go to the bathroom and was then accused by the hair pulled out onto the terrace was. What happened next, Martina F. White is no longer accurate. They have had a blackout for hours, during which it was possibly also come to have sexual intercourse. They only came back to be tried, as Hirschmann have to force her to oral sex. This describes the prosecutor as follows: “He tried his penis hineinzuwürgen in me.” Then they should have bitten him in self-defense in the limb. Hirschmann responded, according to Knodel very aggressively on the bite and beat Martina on F..

Sie hätten sich in einem Lokal einfach nur unterhalten, da lockte Carl sie unter dem Vorwand, er wolle ihr etwas zeigen, ein paar Meter weiter um die Ecke. Zog sie in einem Raum, versperrte die Tür. Draussen bezog ein Bodyguard Stellung. Anschliessend habe Hirschmann sie zum Oralsex gezwungen. «Total verstört» verliess Pascale den Tatort, traute sich aus «Angst und Scham» erst nicht zur Polizei.

Mittlerweile liegt auch die Anzeige von Maria C. vor, die der 28-Jährige in seinem Club «Saint Germain» ebenfalls zum Oralsex gezwungen haben soll. Als sie sich weigerte, brach Carl ihr das Nasenbein.

Eine weitere Frau wendet sich an die Beamten, wieder geht es um sexuelle Nötigung. Doch Hirschmann lässt Geld springen und sie zieht die Anschuldigung zurück. Dafür sagt seine Ex-Freundin Lisa M. aus, Carl habe sie geschlagen.

Hinter vorgehaltener Hand berichten Quellen aus Hirschmanns Umfeld, er habe noch viel mehr Frauen zum Oralsex gezwungen. Diese wollen jedoch keine Anzeige erstatten.

Der «Platinum Room» im Saint Germain – es ist Hirschmanns dunkles Reich. Eine Besucherin erlebte es am eigenen Leib: «Ich lernte Carl im Club kennen. Er fragte mich, ob ich was mit ihm trinken möchte». Was danach folgte, war der blanke Horror: «Er nahm mich mit in den ‹Platinum Room›. Als er die Türe abschloss, beschlich mich ein mulmiges Gefühl. Aber als er mir dann an die Kehle griff und von mir verlangte, ihn oral zu befriedigen, wehrte ich mich und stürmte raus.»

Gemäss Anklageschrift soll Hirschmann im Jahr 2008 eine junge Frau auf dem Dach des Clubs zum Oralsex gezwungen haben. Als sie sich mit einem Biss in seinen Penis wehrte, riss er sie an den Haaren, würgte sie und schlug ihr mit der Faust ins Gesicht.

In einem weiteren Fall sei er mit Fusstritten auf eine junge Frau losgegangen, heisst es in der Anklageschrift. In den Sommerferien 2008 in Frankreich soll er seiner damalige Freundin, einem Model, gegen Kopf und Bauch getreten und sie gewürgt haben, weil sie ihm nicht sagen wollte, mit wem sie telefonierte. Danach habe er ihr eine Schlaftablette eingeflösst, weil sie von Weinkrämpfen geschüttelt wurde. Aus lauter Angst habe sie nicht mehr gewagt, sich ihm zu widersetzen, so die Anklageschrift. Einige Wochen später zeigte sie ihn an – obwohl er ihr laut der Anklageschrift drohte, sie zusammenzuschlagen und Sexvideos von ihr ins Internet zu stellen.

Anfang August 2011 wird bekannt, dass Carl Hirschmann vor Bundesgericht abgeblitzt ist. Der 30-Jährige wehrte sich dagegen, eine halbe Million als Friedensbürgschaft zu hinterlegen. Die Zahlung sollte sicherstellen, dass Hirschmann in den nächsten zwei Jahren seiner Ex-Freundin keine Gewalt antut. Hirschmann hatte 2009 gedroht, er werde sie vor allen Anwesenden windelweich prügeln («beat the shit out of her in front of everyone»).

Der Vorfall ereignete sich laut Anklageschrift Ende Mai 2008. Martina F. erinnert sich laut der Anwältin, dass sie im Club Saint Germain zur Toilette gehen wollte und dann vom Angeklagten an den Haaren auf die Terrasse gezogen worden sei. Was dann geschah, weiss Martina F. nicht mehr genau. Sie habe ein stundenlanges Blackout gehabt, während dem es möglicherweise auch zum Geschlechtsverkehr gekommen sei. Sie kam erst wieder zu sich, als Hirschmann versucht habe, sie zum Oralsex zu zwingen. Dies beschreibt sie dem Staatsanwalt folgendermassen: «Er versuchte seinen Penis in mich hineinzuwürgen.» Darauf soll sie ihm aus Notwehr in das Glied gebissen haben. Hirschmann reagierte laut Knodel äusserst aggressiv auf den Biss und prügelte auf Martina F. ein.

Later there were allegations that Hirschmann’s lawyer set some of the girls under pressure to retract their accusations, and as a result the media would potray them as liars:

The alleged witness Jasmin had reported over the weekend in the “SonntagsBlick”, Carl Hirschmann and communications consultant Wigdorovits have pushed them in the newspaper “Sunday” for their tele-interview-Zuri position to take.
Die angebliche Zeugin Jasmin hatte am Wochendende im «Sonntagsblick» berichtet, Carl Hirschmann und der Kommunikationsberater Wigdorovits hätten sie gedrängt, in der Zeitung «Sonntag» zu ihrem Tele-Züri-Interview Stellung zu nehmen.

http://www.20min.ch/life/story/18990224

One of the alleged victims described it as “by no means a prude and a very active sex life.” The woman did not want to defend themselves. In another victim’s lawyer argued that it had engaged in a proxy war. “Your parents want to make Hirschmann socially ready”

Precisely the applicant, by Hirschmann an “amour fou”, offered the lawyer still in the process of comparison. The woman who was allegedly beaten by Hirschmann went green and blue, but not a fact. “Dignity is not for sale,” she said. They wanted him to account and do this on behalf of all other women who “terrorized by him” and were also not afford such a case could not. She was also willing to donate to the satisfaction of 10,000 francs, which she called ‘the Zurich Women’s Shelter.

Eines der mutmasslichen Opfer bezeichnete sie als «keineswegs prüde und mit sehr aktivem Sexleben.» Die Frau habe sich gar nicht wehren wollen. Bei einem anderen Opfer argumentierte die Anwältin, dass es einen Stellvertreterkrieg führe: «Ihre Eltern wollen Hirschmann gesellschaftlich fertig machen.»

Genau jener Klägerin, mit der Hirschmann eine «Amour fou» führte, bot die Anwältin noch während des Prozesses einen Vergleich an. Die Frau, die von Hirschmann grün und blau geprügelt worden sein soll, ging aber nicht darauf ein. «Würde ist nicht käuflich», sagte sie. Sie wolle ihn zur Verantwortung ziehen und tue dies stellvertretend für alle anderen Frauen, die ebenfalls «von ihm terrorisiert» worden seien und sich einen solchen Fall nicht leisten könnten. Sie zeigte sich auch bereit, die 10000 Franken Genugtuung, die sie forderte, dem Zürcher Frauenhaus zu spenden.

In a TV-interview, that he later didn’t want to see aired, he said:

He said that women did not have vanilla sex, but that the man take over the control and that he had lied to the women again and again, in order not to lose.
Maybe get statements like “Women like to be overwhelmed and want the man takes control” in the face of the judgment, a new note. And when he says that women in front of him with the saying “stay away from that which is dangerous,” were warned, one wonders why. For according to his own statements he was against the women, not decent, because he cheated and she played with them. He insists, however, that he “never beaten in women’s lives, injured or sexually abused” has.
Er sagte, Frauen wollten keinen Blümchensex, sondern dass der Mann die Kontrolle übernehme, und dass er diese Frauen immer wieder angelogen habe, um sie nicht zu verlieren.
Vielleicht bekommen Aussagen wie «Frauen werden gern überwältigt und wollen, dass der Mann die Kontrolle übernimmt» angesichts des Urteils eine neue Note. Und wenn er erzählt, dass Frauen vor ihm mit dem Spruch «bleib weg von dem, der ist gefährlich» gewarnt wurden, fragt man sich auch, warum. Denn gemäss seinen eigenen Aussagen war er den Frauen gegenüber zwar nicht anständig, weil er sie betrog und mit ihnen spielte. Er besteht aber darauf, dass er «nie im Leben Frauen geschlagen, verletzt oder sexuell misshandelt» hat.

One girl said in the “Platinum Room” of the club “Saint Germain” with Hirschmann and another man, Hirschmann asked her to satisfy them both orally. “Otherwise you will not come here out again!”

Another woman said in the sealed “Platinum Room” of the club, “Saint Germain” she was grabbed by the throat and oral sex was asked, and there was” almost an orgy of blowjobs going on.

Schwarzer on the Kachelmann process

Alice Schwarzer, a German feminist, is reporting about the Kachelmann process in the BILD newspaper. Kachelmann, a famous weather moderator, is accused of raping a girlfriend.

She writes that the process is imporant in that it could encourage, or discourage, other women to report rapes, including rapes from husbands and boyfriends.

“Based on surveys in Germany today is one of at least 90 000 rapes in a year. Every second rape happened at home, as alleged in the case of tile man. The culprit is your own husband or boyfriend or ex-husband.

But only eight percent of all rapes are ever displayed. And only every seventh indicator is at the end of the sentencing of the offender. At the same time, the statistics indicate that rape is the crime with the lowest number of false accusations: Only three out of every hundred cases the woman is lying.

Which means only one in a hundred rapists must atone for it. Rape is also a quasi-criminal-less crime.

“Aufgrund von Erhebungen geht man heute in Deutschland von mindestens 90 000 Vergewaltigungen im Jahr aus. Jede zweite Vergewaltigung passiert zu Hause, wie angeblich auch im Fall Kachelmann. Der Täter ist der eigene Mann oder Freund bzw. Ex-Mann.

Doch nur acht Prozent aller Vergewaltigungen werden überhaupt angezeigt. Und nur bei jeder siebten Anzeige steht am Ende die Verurteilung des Täters. Gleichzeitig signalisieren die Statistiken, dass Vergewaltigung das Verbrechen mit den geringsten Falschanschuldigungen ist: Nur in drei von hundert Fällen lügt die Frau.

Was bedeutet: Nur jeder hundertste Vergewaltiger muss auch dafür büßen. Vergewaltigung ist also ein quasi strafloses Verbrechen.

Berlusconi gets angry about “criminal abuse” of state TV

Some more on the Berlusconi prostitution affair in this post.

Media mogul and hobby president Berlusconi got angry because a rival TV station is not shy broadcasting about his newest prostitution scandals. According to him, to invite a prostitute to a TV show, to criticize the president, is abominable. So prostitutes shouldn’t have a voice.

Berlusconi, who himself owns three private television stations complained, Santoro broadcast before the broadcast a “criminal misuse of state television.” Even before the interview, he had criticized in “La Stampa” the decision to give a platform to D’Addario, “inviting a prostitute to throw mud against the Prime Minister, which is unworthy,” said Berlusconi.

Berlusconi, der selber drei private Fernsehsender besitzt, schimpfte Santoros Sendung noch vor der Ausstrahlung einen «kriminellen Missbrauch des Staatsfernsehens». Bereits vor dem Interview hatte er in «La Stampa» den Entscheid kritisiert, D’Addario eine Plattform zu geben: «Eine Prostituierte einzuladen, Dreck gegen den Premierminister zu werfen, das ist unwürdig», sagte Berlusconi.

One of the prostitutes says that most prostitutes keep quiet:

“I repeat: I was not alone. This is very important “than their colleagues.” They all say how nice and courteous Berlusconi was … But they do not talk about the fact that they have called me afterwards, saying, Interlude, he was so disgusting. He had his hands everywhere. I wanted to throw up ‘. They do not mention. ”

„Ich wiederhole: Ich war nicht die Einzige. Das ist ganz wichtig.“ Über ihre Kolleginnen: „Sie alle sagen nur, wie nett und zuvorkommend Berlusconi war… Aber sie reden nicht darüber, dass sie mich danach angerufen haben, sagten ‚Igitt, er war so widerlich. Er hatte seine Hände überall. Ich wollte mich übergeben‘. Das erwähnen sie nicht.“

One of the reasons may be of the repercussions: D’Addario was hit by a car, was threatened, and her diaries were stolen.

D’Addario also writes that she had gone to the press after their passage victims of attacks. Once she was rammed into her car near the southern Italian city of Bari by a vehicle. “I was thrown to the other side of the road. Only by a miracle I survived. “She also speaks of a rape trial and threatening phone calls. Once a caller has even threatened to kidnap their daughter and raping. In addition, an unknown man in the street have their mother in the face. Most recently she was the victim of a burglary, the thieves had stolen clothes, diaries and her computer. An expensive TV they had not taken.

D’Addario schreibt auch, dass sie nach ihrem Gang zur Presse Opfer von Angriffen geworden sei. Einmal sei sie in ihrem Auto in der Nähe der süditalienischen Stadt Bari von einem Fahrzeug gerammt worden. «Ich wurde auf die andere Strassenseite geschleudert. Nur durch ein Wunder habe ich überlebt.» Sie spricht auch von einem Vergewaltigungsversuch und Drohanrufen. Einmal habe ein Anrufer sogar gedroht, ihre Tochter zu entführen und zu vergewaltigen. Zudem habe ein Unbekannter ihre Mutter auf offener Strasse ins Gesicht geschlagen. Zuletzt sei sie Opfer eines Einbruchs geworden: Die Diebe hätten Kleider, Tagebücher und ihren Computer entwendet. Einen teuren Fernseher hätten sie jedoch nicht mitgenommen.

Defending himself, he says that at least he isn’t gay, causing a furious reaction from gays:

He dismissed his critics – and caused fury – by saying: “Better to have a passion for beautiful women than to be gay.”

It would be their word against hundreds of pages of wiretaps and depositions in which Berlusconi is described by other guests as reaching out from his chair to fondle women as they paraded half-naked past him.  http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jan/29/silvio-berlusconi-women-under-spotlight

One of Berlusconi’s aides, Emilio Fede, made it clear to the women that they won’t ever become Miss Italia if they refuse to stay at the bunga bunga party.

Wanted the rest of the evening and especially sex with the host did not live Chiara Danese and Ambra Battilana: That was enough. They left early Berlusconi’s party. Emilio Fede, who had invited the two 18-year-old women, made them realize that they probably would never get the chance to become a weather forecaster on TV or to win a beauty contest.

Das war dann genug: Den Rest des Abends und insbesondere Sex mit dem Gastgeber wollten Chiara Danese und Ambra Battilana nicht erleben. Sie verliessen vorzeitig die Berlusconi-Party. Emilio Fede, der die beiden 18-jährigen Frauen eingeladen hatte, machte ihnen klar, dass sie wohl nie die Chance erhalten würden, Wetterfee im Fernsehen zu werden oder eine Miss-Wahl zu gewinnen.

He also lied to the press, claiming “I have never paid a woman… I have never understood what satisfaction there is if the pleasure of conquest is absent”.

Berlusconi’s bunga bunga nation

Berlusconi’s comments are often juvenile. When being asked about the rise of rapes in Italy, he said that they don’t have enough soldiers to stop the rapes, as their women are so beautiful. Newsweek writes that such sexist attitudes are not only the cause of Berlusconi, but are a general problem in Italy’s culture. It reports that Italy looks especially bad in the 2010 Global Gender Gap Report.

The article reports that a top bank manager in Milan has on his desk in clear view a pinup calendar and a pornographic magazine. “This is a man who has to decide how many women will be in decision-making positions in his company.”

And the report continues: Berlusconi “has weakened institutions aimed at addressing women’s issues by narrowing mandates and decreasing budgets, and also by appointing women who are often inexperienced and have few ties to existing women’s-rights organizations,” according to American academic Celeste Montoya.
