But his lawyer Dr Astrid Wagner told The Sun on Sunday: “Mr Fritzl told me he now wants to divorce his wife.

“It came as a real shock.

“It wasn’t long ago that he said that he was actually fantasising again about having his family around him when he comes out of prison.

“It is not quite clear to me yet why he has now decided he wants to divorce his wife now.

“Perhaps it is because of his dementia – which really is an issue, these days – and of course you have to remember and bear in mind that he is a very elderly man.

“But I respect his wishes and as he has asked me to do this then I have tried to track down his wife so that I can then send her the divorce papers.

“I’m not quite sure where she is – I believe she is most likely still in Austria – so I’m still looking and I really hope I can find her.”

Fritzl, 89, was jailed in 2009 for keeping the children, born after he raped daughter Elisabeth, in an underground lair.

The Austrian is seeking early release on grounds of old age and dementia.

Rosemarie, now 86, claimed to have no knowledge of his crimes.

Brother, 20, jailed for incest after having sex with his sister 21 times & then reporting HIMSELF to police

A 20-YEAR-OLD man has been jailed after being found guilty of having sex with his own sister 21 times.

The twisted family affair has rocked Germany ever since Lucas K. was put on trial over allegations of incest and rape – after he reported himself to police.

Lucas was sentenced to two years and nine months behind bars by Dresden Regional Court for the incest charges.

Prosecutors failed to convince the jury of a guilty verdict over the rape charges which Lucas has always denied.Dresden Regional Court

The public prosecutor had demanded Lucas spent another five years in prison for rape but the court said they had serious doubts over the sex being non-consensual.

Lucas grew up within the foster system and at the age of 18 was left to find a home by himself, German media reports.

To help him get onto his feet, his 33-year-old half sister is believed to have taken him in and let him stay at her apartment in Dresden in January 2023.

The siblings lived together with three dogs and several cats.

According to the prosecution, the first time the pair had sex happened shortly after Lucas first moved in.

The defendant alleges she was physically threatened on several occasions with Lucas even saying he would harm her dogs, a court heard.

Lucas is also alleged to have strangled and beaten her.

During this time the brother is said to have repeatedly assured his sister that he loved her and cared for her.

Lucas was accused of having sex with his older sibling over 20 times during the hearings.

The case was soon uncovered after the alleged victim threatened to report her brother of rape on July 26, 2024.

Lucas is said to have quickly called up the cops himself in order to clear his name and deny any rape claims against him.

The brother was soon arrested and placed into custody as police investigated the accusations as well as the incest charges.

During the trial, several witnesses came forward to speak on the relationship of the siblings.

Judge Andreas Ziegel said before he gave his final verdicts: “There were several witnesses who reported that the siblings acted like a couple.

“The family support service also had the same impression.”

Along with the witness statements, several other pieces of evidence also helped to get the rape charges dropped against Lucas.

It was also revealed that both Lucas and his sister slept in the same bed in the home.

The accuser never kicked Lucas out of the room during the time he had lived with her, the court heard.

Lucas had also openly boasted to his sister’s boyfriend that he “always had sex with her”, court documents showed.

Judge Ziegel continued: “These pieces of evidence have made us doubt that the sister really had sex with the defendant against her will.

“There was sex between them but whether it was consensual or not could not be conclusively determined.”

Lucas was still sentenced to a total of two years and nine months in prison for sexual intercourse between relatives.

His sentence also included charged stemming from other offences such as resisting law enforcement officers, property damage and bodily harm, Bild reports.

Lucas was reportedly aggressive towards the officers during his trial and arrest.

The public prosecutor’s office has not decided to charge the half-sister – who it believes is the victim – with sexual intercourse between relatives.

Germany’s incest laws

IN Germany, incest is strictly prohibited by law under Section 173 of the German Criminal Code.

The law states that any sexual relations between close relatives comes under the law.

This applies to biological siblings – full or half-siblings – and parents and their biological children.

Anyone found guilty faces up to three years in prison or a fine.

The law does not apply to adoptive or step-relations.

The main reason behind the law is tied to protecting family structures as well as preventing potential genetic risks associated with inbreeding.

Many European countries don’t view incest as a crime however.

This includes France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
