“We turned on music, danced, and chatted because we just wanted to have a little fun,” he added.
“I only used drugs and didn’t realize the girls weren’t of legal age.” They claimed to be 21 and 24 years old.
However, he was unable to explain why the 15-year-old received a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence despite having scratches, bruises, and strangulation marks.
According to Kronen Zeitung, the 24-year-old guy who was also on trial was found not guilty of assisting and abetting the rape but received a three-month suspended prison sentence for sexual harassment.
A court heard how the males urged the adolescent girls to board a taxi while they were enjoying the nation’s national holiday in Keplerplatz, south of the capital, last October.
The girls had been lured to an illegally occupied “horror house” after they had promised them a party.
