Allegations of Abuse Against Train Driver in Vienna: Initially Six Affected

The public prosecutor currently has no evidence of sexual acts through violence or threats. Affected individuals have not yet reported acts of violence. Currently, there is no assumption of rape or sexual coercion. However, cases of sexual harassment, violation of sexual self-determination, and abuse of an authority relationship are being examined. The investigations are comprehensive, and legal assessments may change.

Investigations against train driver started after report in summer

According to APA information, there are likely at least six other alleged victims who have already signaled their willingness to testify against the train driver. The investigations against the man were set in motion because an affected individual, now an adult, filed a report against the ÖBB employee last summer and described assaults that had happened to him as a teenager. The ÖBB immediately removed the train driver from service after the allegations against him became known, and a dismissal procedure was initiated. According to APA research, the man did not come into contact with the affected individuals through his professional setting. He met them outside of his working hours through a shared passion for railways.
