Woman raped in Amsterdam-Osdorp parking garage, Public Prosecution Service demands 4-year prison sentence and TBS

A 33-year-old man faces a four-year prison sentence and mandatory psychiatric treatment for the rape of a woman in an Amsterdam-Osdorp parking garage last year. The incident occurred on May 16 when the victim was placing her daughter into a car seat. The suspect fled the scene after a neighbor approached and the victim called for help. Police identified the man through security camera footage, leading to his arrest the following day and a subsequent confession during interrogation.

In court, the suspect claimed he was influenced by supernatural spirits known as djinns, alleging he entered the garage to watch pornography before being compelled to commit the assault. The prosecution rejected this defense, asserting that the man entered the garage with a deliberate intent to satisfy his sexual urges regardless of the circumstances. The victim stated that the attack has caused irreparable trauma to her life and family. In addition to the rape charge, the man is accused of attempted rape against the same victim.
