A 68-year-old German man has been charged over the alleged serial rapes of drugged women in Berlin. The man, whose name has not been disclosed to the public, is accused of targeting women between the ages of 19 and 34 in his apartment in the eastern part of the city. The assaults are said to have taken place over a period of two years.
Authorities have stated that the suspect would allegedly drug his victims before sexually assaulting them, with at least three women coming forward so far with similar accounts. The investigation into the case is ongoing, with the police urging any other potential victims to come forward.

The case has sparked outrage in the local community, with many calling for justice for the victims and a thorough investigation into the matter. The court proceedings are set to begin in the coming weeks as more details emerge regarding the accusations against the suspect.
