A Syrian and Bulgarian, both 14 at the time of the crime, are on trial for allegedly raping a 13-year-old schoolmate in an empty house in Königslutter, Lower Saxony, where he was also tortured and beaten. They even filmed the horrifying act and circulated the video amongst classmates.
Now, the two migrants have appeared in a Braunschweig Regional Court. Investigators say the victim was repeatedly bullied, and at the end of September 2023, they encountered the victim and his friend, at which point they led them to a basement in an empty building.
There, the horror began.
Prosecutors in the case say that the 13-year-old was forced to kiss the two suspects’ shoes, and then he was beaten and humiliated on video.
It did not end there. The victim was then forced to perform sexual acts, which the two teens filmed on their own phones.
One of the suspects, the Syrian, was already well known to police for violent behavior.
Both teens threatened their classmates with a knife, warning them if they told anyone about what happened.
However, approximately a week later, the mother learned that there was a video circulating amongst schoolchildren of the horrid torture and assault. She filed a police report in response.
The two teens, now 16, are standing trial for child abuse, grievous bodily harm, the production of child pornography, coercion and threats.
Due to the fact that they are minors, they are likely to receive far lighter sentences than if they were adults.

While extreme incidents often capture the headlines, daily bullying and harassment are also commonplace. In schools where Germans are a clear minority, the situation can be even worse.
