Court judgment: Breymaier is no longer allowed to repeat brothel allegations!

Stuttgart, Deutschland - In a sensational legal dispute, Leni Breymaier, former SPD state chief and member of the Bundestag, lost before the Stuttgart district court. The brothel operator John Heer had sued Breymaier because of her statements on the television program "On the matter of Baden-Württemberg", in which she described women in brothels as involuntarily working and linked these statements with human trafficking and rocker gangs. The court ruled that Breymaier should not repeat these factual claims because they were untrue and no concrete evidence was presented. Their general statements about crime in the red light milieu could not support the allegations, such as schwaebische-post.de reported.

The judgment, which was issued as part of an urgent procedure, also obliges Breymaier to pay the court costs and the plaintiff's legal fees. In the event of an infringement of her statements now prohibited, she threatens a fine of up to 250,000 euros. Breymaier has announced that it will wait for the written reason for the judgment and advise her lawyer about possible legal steps in the next instance. According to swr.de emphasized that Breymaier is a position as a member of the Bundestag abuse to discredit prostitution and thus also damage its business interests.

background and relevance

Breymaier, who has been a member of the SPD since 1982 and was sitting in the Bundestag for the Aalen-Heidenheim constituency by 2025, has emerged as a advocate of a sex purchase ban in Germany. Your argument is based on the assumption that many women are suppressed in prostitution. This is in the context of current debates about prostitution, especially in the Leonhardsviertel in Stuttgart, where a new development plan is expected until the local election on June 9, which provides for a long -term ban on prostitution.

The decision of the Stuttgart Regional Court illustrates the tensions between public statements about the red light environment and the legal framework for these explanations. Breymaier's case shows how important well -founded argument and evidence are in such debates, especially in connection with sensitive issues such as prostitution and human trafficking.
