Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal of conditional release from preventive detention had to be upheld
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusal could not stand because, despite a continuing risk of sexual offences, continued detention had become disproportionate after more than 20 years and conditional release under strict supervision was required.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court accepted the prognosis of reoffending but held that only moderately serious child-sex offences were realistically to be expected and that the extraordinarily long deprivation of liberty outweighed the security interest; the measure could be replaced by controlled release with safeguards.
