Maddie suspect to go on trial next year on rape charges.

[Admin]

An Irish woman who was allegedly raped by Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner will be kept under police protection ahead of his sex assault trial next year, MailOnline can reveal.

German prosecutors confirmed last night that Brueckner, 46, will finally go on trial on February 16 for five sex crimes, three of which involve minors.

One of three victims that Brueckner is accused of raping is Irish national Hazel Behan, who was just 20 when she was viciously attacked by 'a German man with piercing blue eyes' in Portugal during a four-hour ordeal in 2004.

Ms Behan, now 40, has revealed that she was given Brueckner's trial date last week when two German detectives visited her to go through the 'fine details'. She said she was told the trial could last 'for three months'.

The alleged victim, who was raped at knifepoint, was informed that she will be 'carefully guarded' amid fears for her safety in the lead up to the trial - with police advising that not even her husband will be able to come with her to court.

Well, apart from 22 Views, most of which are probably mine,  no one seems interested in Brueckner going down for Several Violent Sexual Abuse Charges, likely though at least some of them are.

Perhaps that is it.  Everyone knows that Brueckner is done for for a few more years and so they can't be bothered to comment.  We shall have to take some comfort for that.

There's nothing really to be said. We've known about these offences for the past two & half years already, & Brueckner is a nobody. If Wolters hadn't hitched his name to the Maddie case these offences would barely make national or international news.

This is an On Topic Thread.  Please take note.

Nothing much to say until the trial gets underway; or at least until we see what delaying tactic the defence will be trying this time round.
I'm sure there must be more procedural issues they can come up with.

I just want to know if Brueckner will submit a Plea.  Not that it will do him much good if he doesn't.  And then there is the question of Concurrent or Consecutive.  All much more interesting than some people might think.

Only when it gets started.  Until then I consider it a bit of a bore.

What's interesting about it? Can't say I can see anything worth wasting much thought on myself.

I am finding German Law quite fascinating, but then I am always ready to learn something new.  And we don't know the half of it yet.

Fulscher is quite likely to try some more new trick but all he has achieved so far is to delay the inevitable, which is why it has all taken so long.

Oh well, it gets him out of his cell for a bit so I expect he’s looking forward to it.
