the COPENHAGEN city COURT (Ekstra Bladet): The voldtægtstiltalte krammeterapeut Per Brændgaard rejected with indignation in his voice, that he committed rape against a woman in his apartment on Østerbro in may last year, when he began his explanation in the Copenhagen city Court.
– I get lots of inquiries from women who want to have sex with me. The last thing I need is to rape someone. It is so far from my ethics. It is completely crazy, it here, he said.
the Prosecutor documented the run-up to the meeting, happened in a sms-correspondence between the accused and the woman, who has notified him of rape.
Here, it appeared that Per Brændgaard wrote to her that ‘you are welcome to come and cuddle with me tonight’, and that there may also come a few other krammeveninder. At that time he had seen her twice before, among other things, for an information session on the kramning.
There was, however, not others who came that evening.
He explained that they started to drink the tea and then began to cuddle on one of the many mattresses, he has everywhere in his apartment, and he perceived that she had interest in having sex with he.
– I perceive her behavior as an expression of desire to have sex with me. We have not signed a contract, now we have sex with each other, he said, which got one of the audience to giggle.
along the Way in his explanation had the judge also recommend that if the many audience could not help but to giggle, so they had to leave the courtroom.
Per Brændgaard denied that the woman at any time gave the impression that she didn’t care about it.
– There were no signals at all. Only then it was completed. She is changing completely afterwards and becomes completely soft. It was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She was a completely different. Her facial expressions and body language was different. The opposite of desire, explained Per Brændgaard.
– I try to speak, and she becomes completely dumb. So I managed to get her to say some things. And then she says that some times it is as if my body anything else other than my head, he said, and told him that she then told him it was a long time ago, that she had had sex.
– Can you remember if she cried? asked the prosecutor.
– No, I can’t actually remember that she was crying. But I noticed that there was something wrong.
He explained that it took some little time, from the sexual stopped, and the woman went.
– How was her state of mind when she went? asked the prosecutor.
It was hard to be wise, because she really wanted to say so much, said Per Brændgaard, who told that he had begun to develop feelings for the woman and saw her as a future girlfriend.
Per Brændgaard has not spoken to police during the investigation. To the question of how it could be, he said, that first contact from the police was that there was a message from them.
– I thought it was the Police, that would have a course in kramning. And so it was a very angry politidame. Her here politidamen was definitely not interested in finding the truth. She was out to lynch me, he said.
Yet this was his first thought, that he would like to comment. But he was later on the council of his lawyer not to comment.
When his lawyer took over the questioning, she asked, how he separated krammeklienter from them, he met privately in his apartment.
– Krammeklienter is krammeklienter. They pay for the time they are there, he said, and denied that the woman had paid nothing.
– not at All. She has not booked a time. She has never paid for anything, he said.
The injured woman, deliver now, the explanation behind closed doors. Extra Leaf is back in the courtroom when the doors are opened.
the Verdict is expected later in the day.
