The highest-ranking police officer in Baden-Württemberg is on trial for sexually assaulting a young colleague. Sounds like a classic “Me Too” case, but it’s not quite that simple.
You can only see her left toe. she rocks. A narrow foot tucked into a Nike sneaker with a pair of jeans on top. Once she leans forward, a glimmer of reddish-blond hair can be made out. Otherwise you don’t see anything of the woman whose ad got Germany’s currently most important “Me Too” case rolling. Katharina B., 34, sits in the courtroom of the Stuttgart Regional Court, hidden behind a ledge. If she testifies, the public is locked out. Because she is afraid of this publicity. Does she have to, even today?
