Elke Winkens raped: I'm not a victim – stars

Elke Winkens spent a long time in a "dark tunnel" traumatized by two rapes. It took him years to overcome the trauma.

In the current "News", number 43-44 (excerpt online), the actress talks about her experiences for the first time. Why now? "Because I'm really angry since I read all those stories about Roman Rafreider." In the past, people were pilloried in the village square. "Now we put men on the Internet in the pillory – where are the progress?"

"Violence is always wrong, whatever its form"

Elke Winkens was the first time with 16 victims of rape. A man who depended on the whole family met him under a false pretense, asking him to train his daughter to dance. Instead, he abused her in the car. She tried to delete the incident. The second time she was 20, she was an acquaintance again. After that, she hated men for a long time. She understands that a person who lives something terrible attacks people, especially men. "But, and it's the saddest thing, it does not have that right, violence is always wrong, regardless of its form."

Elke Winkens has condemned all men for years. It is only belatedly that she has managed – with much help – to rethink. Bad gossip was decisive for recovery. Someone was behind her and her boyfriend then became a stranger. "I attacked him as a fury – but he remained calm and said:" Wait, you did not even ask me if I had done it. " It turned out that the charges were false. And Elke Winkens realized that she had to work on herself. "I was aggressive, the aggression was part of the trauma." She worked on herself and managed to rethink and break her behavior.

You minimize one by demonizing the other

Elke Winkens has learned to differentiate herself. That's why they have terribly upset some things in the #metoo debate. If a politician who abandons stupid words is suddenly treated the same way as a real rapist, a border will be crossed. "Because that's how you minimize those who actually did it – and the others are demonized – you try to make sure that the bungalows and the skyscrapers are the same, and that's not used to nothing."

"Rafreider back to the screen"

"If the ORF removes Rafreider from the screen, even if nothing has been proven, it's an invitation to all women who still have a pending bill at the table." 39: Embbady: I can finish it "If the investigation stops, Rafreider must return to Umbrella, this is the message that our society needs now. Then, even if nothing comes out, it will always be said, "Well, but he's always been arrogant, it's going to be something."
