In Germany, 28-year-old Said Z., a refugee from Afghanistan, was found guilty of sexually assaulting multiple women—yet he left the courtroom a free man. Here’s how the case unfolded.
A Double Life in Germany
Said Z. arrived in Germany in 2015 as a minor refugee. He eventually found work at a fashion store in Hanover, appearing to lead an ordinary life. But behind closed doors, he preyed on women.
Between 2021 and 2024, he sexually assaulted at least four women, targeting those wearing skirts and tights. The attacks were calculated and predatory, as revealed during his trial at the Hanover District Court.
Survivors Share Their Stories
German media outlet BILD spoke with three of his victims, who recounted harrowing encounters:
- Clara (31): In November 2021, she was followed home and grabbed violently near her front door. “He grabbed me between the legs, almost lifting me up. I screamed, and he fled.”
- Maike (33): On Christmas Eve 2021, she was attacked on the stairs of a subway station. “He darted his hand under my dress and grabbed me intimately before running away.”
- Nadira (22): In April 2024, Said assaulted her in broad daylight at the fashion store where he worked. “He grabbed me between the legs while handing over a package. I called him a ‘disgusting pig,’ and he called me a slut.”

A Predator Caught—but Not Stopped
Police had already been investigating a string of similar assaults when they identified Said as the suspect. Surveillance footage, witness statements, and DNA evidence tied him to the crimes.

Searches of his phone revealed his fetish for pantyhose, as well as “upskirting” photos—secret recordings taken under women’s skirts on escalators.
The 28-year-old took photos under women’s skirts on escalators in subway stations. Secretly taking photos of intimate areas, known as “upskirting,” is a criminal offense.
During a raid on his residence, police discovered a combat knife wrapped in foil, further raising concerns.
Why Did He Walk Free?
Despite confessing to his crimes, Said Z. received just 22 months probation. The court cited his confession, time spent in remand, and steady employment as mitigating factors. In addition, he was fined €5,000 and ordered to undergo therapy.
The public prosecutor had pushed for prison time, but the judge deemed probation sufficient. Said walked out of court a free man.
Victims Demand Justice
The decision has left his victims outraged. “We want him locked up and deported as soon as possible,” Clara said.
This case raises serious questions about the justice system’s handling of violent offenders and the safety of women in public spaces. As the debate continues, the victims are left to cope with the trauma while Said Z. remains free to walk the streets of Hanover.
