This is disturbing by itself, but the article putting sexual assault in quotes makes it all that much worse.
They can't say it is sexual assault, until the person has been declared guilty in court. So they put it in quotes to indicate that is has been alleged by someone else
One might wonder then why the throwing woman and friend into ravine part isn't also in cover-your-ass quotes.
I don't make the rules 🤷 Maybe easier to prove? The media just doesn't like getting sued.
The article does say:
The man was reported to have sexually assaulted one of the women
According to German news sources he didn't throw them off the bridge but led them to a more secluded path in the vicinity where he attacked them and pushed them off the cliff.
