Kernrechtsfrage
Whether refusal to order preventive detention under Art. 43(1)(2) StGB violated federal law
Extrahierter Entscheid
Preventive detention was not warranted because the defendant's risk to public safety, especially of serious violence or further sexual offences, was assessed as insufficiently grave; ambulatory treatment remained possible.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Court was bound by the cantonal factual findings. It held that although a relapse risk for further sexual offences existed, it did not rise to the level of a serious danger to public safety required for preventive detention. The lower court could also consider the absence of prior sexual violence, the lack of recent serious sexual offending, and the possibility—albeit limited—of ambulatory treatment.
