Kantonsgericht Entscheid Entscheid/2020/192 vom 16.03.2020 (VD)

Date:	16.03.2020
Force of law:	-

Summary:	The Federal Court approved Y.________'s appeal against the order of his pre-trial detention. The court found that the order of pre-trial detention was disproportionate. The pre-trial detention was not necessary to prevent the risk of escape or a repetition of the acts. Y.________ had complied with the conditions imposed on him by the magistrate. Y.________ has therefore been set on a free footing. More detailed summary: Y.________ was charged with sexual assault of minors in three criminal cases. The cantonal court had ordered the pre-trial detention against him, as it saw a risk of an escape or a repetition of the acts. Y.________ filed an appeal to the Federal Court against this. He argued that the pre-trial detention was disproportionate, since he had complied with the conditions imposed on him by the magistrate. The Federal Court followed Y.________s reasoning. It stated that the pre-trial detention was not necessary to prevent the risk of escape or a repetition of the acts. Y.________ had complied with the conditions imposed on him by the magistrate. He had reported regularly to the police, he had contacted a probation officer and he had undergone therapy. The Federal Court annulled the order of pre-trial detention. Y.________ was set to free foot.
