The girl’s mother was present at the apartment earlier in the night. Both mother and daughter said the accused arrived home drunk and with friends.
After she put her daughter to bed at 1 a.m., “I was working in the kitchen till 3:00 a.m., when I told the flat owner to check on my daughter as I felt the defendant’s friends had left,” the woman said in the report.
When the flat owner saw the man touching the girl, she pushed him out of the room.
