Fury as serial sex fiend who raped an 11-year-old girl wearing a wolf mask gets his ‘harsh sentence’ overturned

A SICK monster, who raped an 11-year-old girl while wearing a wolf mask, has had his “harsh sentence” overturned. Christoph K. was sentenced to twelve years in prison followed by a move to a secure psychiatric clinic, after he pounced on his victim and dragged her into bushes before covering her face with her jacket during the vile ordeal.

The 46-year-old electrician will now face a full retrial. In the first trial, the child and her parents were spared being asked to give evidence because K. confessed in the hope of being given a smaller sentence. It is not yet known whether the victim will be expected to give evidence for the retrial. K. had been found guilty of dragging the young girl from a pheasant park a few hundred metres from her parents’ house in the Obergiesing borough of Munich into a bush in broad daylight in summer 2019. There, dressed in a creepy wolf mask and white gloves, he covered the schoolgirl’s mouth as he raped her.

K. – who had only just been released from a secure psychiatric Institute pending a decision to let him go him permanently – was arrested at his workplace two days later after his DNA was found at the crime scene and on the victim’s clothes. As he was already a convicted paedophile, police had his DNA. In late 2018, K. had been released early from a previous prison sentence for another sex offence on conditions, but those conditions did not include permanent supervision. As a result of the vile ordeal, K. was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment despite being 14 years less that what was requested by the prosecutors. K. must now be retried at the Munich I Regional Court.
