A former judge in Chur, Switzerland, has been convicted of raping his intern, following a high-profile trial.

The Regional Court of Plessur found the judge guilty of rape, multiple counts of sexual harassment, and threats against the intern, who was 21 years younger.

Despite his denial, the court deemed the victim's testimony credible.

The judge received a 23-month suspended prison sentence and a fine, though the verdict is not yet final.

The case has sparked discussions on victim treatment during trials, with concerns about retraumatization due to aggressive defense tactics.
