Sex worker from Saarlouis: Probably penalty for tried blackmail!

A 28-year-old sex worker from Saarlouis was recently sentenced to a probation penalty of one year after she was guilty about attempted extortion. However, it was acquitted of further severe allegations, especially severe robbery and deprivation of liberty. This reports SR, which updated the details of the case on May 5, 2025.

The case revolves around an incident that took place at the end of 2021. The accused was accused of tied up a 57-year-old man from Nordsaarland during a home visit and threatened with a knife. The aim was to achieve the PIN for his online banking. The man stated that she had transferred around 1000 euros to him to her own account. However, it remained unclear in the process whether it was actually threatened with a knife.

acquittal for severe allegations

The court decided that it could not be ruled out that the transfer of 1000 euros was a legitimate payment for a sex service provided. This uncertainty meant that the accused was acquitted according to the principle "in case of doubt for the accused".

After the home visit, the woman had demanded further money from the 57-year-old via WhatsApp. Otherwise, she threatened to send compromising photos to his employer and publish on the Internet. In this context, the accused of attempted extortion was spoken. Since it was only an attempt, she got away with a suspended sentence.

the situation escalated when the 57-year-old informed the police, which gave attention. The judgment is now final.

legal framework conditions

In the context of online banking, the topic of negligence is important. As can be seen from the legal judgments of the Saarbrücken Regional Court on June 10, 2022, the telephone transfer of TAN can be seen as a gross negligence, especially if it makes it clear that the request could not come from a payment service provider. The legal framework for security in online banking underline users' responsibility.

In addition, it is known that the clarification of the risks in online banking is of central importance in order to avoid legal consequences in similar cases. The website Dona Carmen, which provides comprehensive statistics on the legal framework, also provides information on the legal situation on the subject of prostitution.

The SR Info messages also reported on the events, which took up the topic in detail on May 5, 2025. The following aspects are crucial: the uncertainty about the circumstances of the money transfer and the type of threats that influenced the judgment.

The case also raises questions about dealing with sex work and the legal framework in Germany. The present situation clearly shows how complex and complex the legal and social aspects of blackmail and sex work are.
