In a shocking verdict that speaks volumes about the state of justice in Western Europe, a young American woman living in Germany has been convicted of manslaughter, receiving a two-year suspended sentence, for fatally stabbing a 64-year-old Eritrean migrant who sexually assaulted her in broad daylight.
The female sexual assault victim, identified as Fallyn B., was just 20 years old at the time of the attack. She was groped on an escalator by the migrant at Kaiserslautern Central Station, an area increasingly plagued by migrant-related crime, the German newspaper Die Zeit reported.
According to surveillance footage and eyewitness reports, the African migrant grabbed her buttocks without consent—an act the German court acknowledged was indeed criminal. He then followed her as she walked through the underpass to the train station and attempted to grope her again.
But when she defended herself, pulling a pocketknife during the altercation and delivering a single stab to his chest, which unfortunately for the attacker proved to be fatal, German authorities turned her from victim into perpetrator.
