In Vienna-Simmering, a 17-year-old girl was found motionless in an apartment on Sunday evening. The girl was able to be resuscitated and is currently in a coma. Due to existing injuries on her body, which also suggest a possible sexual offense, the Vienna State Criminal Police Office is investigating. The four men present in the apartment claimed to have nothing to do with it.

"One of the men called the rescue services on Sunday because the 17-year-old did not wake up in the apartment," said police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger to the APA. Around 9:10 PM, the police arrived at the apartment on Geiselbergstraße together with the Vienna professional rescue service. The girl was successfully resuscitated and was taken to a hospital in a comatose state. She remains in an artificial deep sleep. The 17-year-old is said to have been found with significant intoxication from drugs.

Apartment in Vienna-Simmering: Quartet of Men Denies Sexual Contact with 17-Year-Old

The quartet consists of four Syrians aged between 21 and 35 years. Three of them live together in the apartment on Geiselbergstraße, and the fourth man is likely a friend of the trio. All have already been interrogated by the police. They deny any sexual contact with the 17-year-old in their statements. Their phones have been secured and are to be evaluated.

According to police circles, the 17-year-old is known to the authorities and lives with her parents in Lower Austria. She was reported missing by them last Friday. The four men are said to have "met her on the street in Simmering" shortly before the incident on Sunday, as Haßlinger stated. They reportedly offered her a place to sleep, as they described in their interrogation.

Comprehensive forensic investigations have already been carried out. The further investigations are being conducted by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, Southern Branch.
