Key legal question
Whether the conduct constituted completed or only attempted indecent assault under Art. 191 StGB.
Extracted holding
The facts, if anything, established completed indecent assault; however, the court could not worsen the defendant's position and therefore left the conviction for attempt untouched.
Extracted reasoning
The victim was incapable of resistance both while asleep and after awakening because her will to resist could not be physically exercised; the lower court erred in characterizing the act as only attempted. Because of the prohibition of reformatio in peius, the conviction could not be upgraded on appeal.
