Attempted rape in Weißenburg: Police are urgently looking for a witness!
The Ansbach criminal police have taken over the investigation into a serious case of attempted rape that occurred on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, in an apartment in downtown Weissenburg. A 15-year-old teenager is suspected of attacking a 16-year-old girl. Fortunately, a passerby heard the victim's screams and informed the police, who were able to take immediate action. The young woman was able to leave the apartment and filed a report. In order to advance the investigation, the police are urgently looking for the unknown witness who is considered crucial to the case. The office will receive information on 0911 2112-3333 Northern Bavaria reported.
We hear about similar incidents almost every day and it is alarming. Domestic and sexual violence is a massive social problem that affects many of us more than we think. Young women in particular are often affected, but how nn.de emphasizes, the number of unreported cases remains high because many victims do not take the step of reporting the crime out of shame or fear. In Ansbach, the possibility of confidential forensic investigation was therefore introduced in 2020, which allows those affected to secure evidence without immediately filing a report.
Confidential forensics support those affected
The confidential forensics ensure that affected women and men, children and young people are treated in a safe environment. In the central emergency room you can bring a trusted person with you for support. Your personal data is subject to medical confidentiality and will only be released upon a court order. This gives many affected people the opportunity to decide at their leisure whether and when they want to file a report.
A look at the numbers shows the extent of the problem: According to the unreported study by the Federal Criminal Police Office, 6% of women aged 16 and over reported criminally relevant sexual offenses, although only 1% of all sexual offenses are reported. This makes it clear how important it is that victims have a trustworthy contact point. In this way, low-threshold support is becoming increasingly relevant to a comprehensive offer, as is the aim in Middle Franconia. If you are in an emergency or need support, you can contact the Middle Franconia Crisis Service at www. Krisendienst-mittelfranken.de or contact us on the telephone numbers 0800/6553000 and 0911/4248550, as determined.
This topic is close to all of our hearts. Every person has the right to live a life without fear. It is therefore crucial that we as a society stand loud and clear and that those affected do not have to feel alone. Every step towards more education and support counts.
