As of today, Monday, a former member of the Aargau Grand Council of the Center has to answer to the Olten-Gösgen SO district court for multiple exhibitionism, among other things. This also involved girls aged between 13 and 15, which is why the most serious charge is "multiple sexual acts with children".
The 55-year-old was arrested by the Solothurn cantonal police in July 2022 on the River Aare in Erlinsbach SO. Patrols had been on the move there after there had been repeated reports over several years that an unknown man had shown himself naked in the recreational area above Aarau in the canton of Solothurn and performed exhibitionist acts.
After being briefly detained for further investigations, the accused was released under alternative measures. According to the public prosecutor, he has partially confessed. He is accused of 26 acts to the detriment of 35 girls and young women in the period from 2017 to 2022. The youngest victim was only 13 years old.
Attempted escape and false statements
Other charges include obstructing an official act and misleading authorities and officials. The man is accused of attempting to flee from the police when he was arrested in summer 2022 and of providing false information about himself.
The trial is scheduled to last two to three days and the verdict is expected to be announced in mid-December.
