The 25-year-old Senegalese man, who has his own family, had came to Germany as a refugee just one month before the alleged attack. The accused rapist had been given accommodation in the town of Muhldorf am Inn in the southern province of Bavaria. According to police, the man, identified as Assane N, had often pestered local women for sex.

The sick man ran off when he heard voices

He attacked his victim after stopping her outside a nightclub and asking her to wait a second. He then snatched her mobile phone, and when she asked for it back, he had asked for a kiss. When she refused, he dragged her into the bushes and allegedly raped her as many as four times. The sick man ran off when he heard voices and the abused girl managed to attract the attention of people passing.

Police used tracker dogs to follow the man’s scent to an asylum home in Muhldorf where the woman identified the man from a selection of photographs. The man only admitted it when a DNA test confirmed that he was the attacker. However, he just claimed the pair had sex twice and it was consensual. He said that in his home country of Senegal he had a wife and child, but according to police he had been trying to persuade local women in Germany to have sex with him.
