A man, lacking a registered address in Slovenia, was sentenced to three years in prison following a trial concluding several days ago, according to reports in Delo. The prosecution initially offered a two-year prison sentence in exchange for a guilty plea, but the individual refused to admit culpability. The case involved an incident in September of last year where a 12-year-old girl was subjected to harassment while returning from a training session.
The man approached her at a Bavarian court and followed her onto a bus. A fellow passenger observed the girl’s distress and alerted the bus driver, who promptly contacted authorities. Police responded by ordering the driver to call for assistance and subsequently parked the bus at a designated stop.
The incident is being prosecuted under charges of sexual assault on a person under 15 years of age, a crime carrying a potential sentence of eight years in prison under Slovenian law. The court determined the appropriate sentence to be three years, reflecting the seriousness of the offense. The trial concluded with the defendant’s refusal to accept a plea bargain.
