Once a rising star of the Czech political scene and hailed as a sign of diversity, the rape cases of former MP Dominik Feri involving young women shocked the country in 2021. Now, Feri has been released after serving two years in prison, but his legal troubles may not be entirely over.<\/p>\n

The Teplice District Court granted the conditional release of former TOP 09 MP Feri, allowing him to walk free from Teplice prison. The decision follows a successful appeal to the \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem Regional Court, which had previously overturned a lower court\u2019s refusal to grant him parole.<\/p>\n

The release was made against the protests from the deputy representative of the victims, who strongly opposed Feri\u2019s release, citing the ongoing trauma of the women involved, according to Czech news outlet SZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are afraid that he will continue to hurt them, mainly through social networks,\u201d said lawyer Ad\u00e9la Ho\u0159ej\u0161\u00ed, who represents the victims.<\/p>\n

Feri, who entered prison at the end of May 2024 to serve a three-year sentence for two rapes and one attempted rape<\/a>, was released with the consent of both the state prosecutor and a prison psychologist. The psychologist evaluated Feri\u2019s personality as balanced and determined that he poses no danger to society.<\/p>\n

The three rape cases<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2016, as a law student, Feri groped a 17-year-old girl in his Prague apartment and demanded sex. The victim subsequently lost consciousness for unknown reasons, during which Feri had sex with her. In a separate incident that same year, Feri threw a 20-year-old woman onto a bed, pulled down her pants, and forced sexual intercourse despite her explicit refusal.<\/p>\n

At a February 2018 event while working as an MP,\u00a0a young woman seeking an internship met Feri at the Chamber of Deputies. Feri proceeded to grope and attempt to kiss her inside a building elevator and the Chamber kitchen.<\/p>\n

Throughout his trial, Feri maintained that the encounters were consensual and accused the victims of fabrication. The judiciary firmly rejected his defense. Libor V\u00e1vra, chairman of the Prague Municipal Court\u2019s senate during the appeal, emphasized that the former lawmaker deliberately abused his authority, alongside the vulnerability and defenselessness of the young women.<\/p>\n

Rising political star<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The former politician was once named\u00a0eighth out of 28 politicians in Politico\u2019s Class of 2019<\/a>, but the details of the various rape cases scuttled his political career.<\/p>\n

As Remix News previously\u00a0reported<\/a>, Feri had over 700,000 followers on Instagram at one time, and in 2016, he described himself as \u201ccrown sunshine man\u201d in the media and supported the admission of refugees to Czechia. However, at the time, he insisted he would offer no compromises toward refugees who come to Czechia and are found guilty of rape.<\/p>\n

Politico gushed over Feri in 2019, naming him a \u201cdreamer\u201d and one of the \u201c28 people who will shape Europe in the year ahead,\u201d with the publication writing: \u201cFeri isn\u2019t just the youngest parliamentarian in the country\u2019s history. He\u2019s the first black one \u2014 and conspicuously so. He wears his hair in a bushy afro and enjoys playing Fats Waller-style jazz piano in local clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Politico also wrote about the alleged troubles he faced as a Black Czech politician, writing: \u201cIt\u2019s not easy being young and black in the Czech Republic, where the number of residents of African descent remains minuscule and racial intolerance is widespread.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feri also told Politico that he faces \u201cconstant mockery and threats by some people. Or, even worse, many people won\u2019t even take you seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feri says he learned his lesson<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When addressing the court, Feri stated that considerable time had passed since his actions and that his priorities have changed. He expressed a desire to focus on starting a family rather than pursuing random encounters.<\/p>\n

\u201cLessons from punishment were essential,\u201c he said. However, during the actual trial, Feri was known for his combative defense and lack of remorse, according to the judge at the time.<\/p>\n

Feri, a trained lawyer holding a JUDr. degree, built his defense on the assertion that all sexual encounters in his \u017di\u017ekov apartment were entirely consensual and devoid of violence. He routinely disputed the consistency of the victims\u2019 statements, noting minor discrepancies in their descriptions of his apartment layout and the Chamber of Deputies\u2019 kitchen, where he assaulted a congressional intern. Feri went as far as to argue that one victim was in \u201csynergistic contact\u201d with him and publicly questioned the state\u2019s case:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere was the violence I supposedly used?\u201c Feri asked two years ago during his speech before the court.<\/p>\n

Throughout the legal proceedings, the prosecution criticized Feri\u2019s treatment of the victims, which included exposing the name of one witness and laughing loudly from an adjoining room while another testified.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe laughed so loudly that it could be heard in the courtroom. Two victims mentioned this as a significantly unpleasant circumstance during their testimony. The defendant has the right to a defense, but not in such a blunt and insensitive way,\u201d stated Judge Lenka H\u00e1jkov\u00e1 of the District Court for Prague 3, who found Feri guilty along with two other colleagues.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Ale\u0161 Cimbala condemned these actions before the sentencing court:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he explained it with indiscretion from his youth. But we don\u2019t see any self-reflection here, no reaction to the fact that the criminal proceedings had any educational effects,\u201c said Cimbala, labeling Feri\u2019s courtroom behavior as a \u201cmanifestation of theatrical demeanor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feri additionally claimed that the victims were lying to avenge unrequited love:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey lie repeatedly and intentionally, even in court, all with a straight face,\u201d claimed Feri at the time.<\/p>\n

The appeals panel, led by Prague Municipal Court Senate President Libor V\u00e1vra, systematically rejected Feri\u2019s defense strategy. The court validated the credibility of the victims, noting that expert opinions confirmed they suffered severe psychological trauma and had confided in loved ones immediately following the assaults.<\/p>\n

Further legal problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite his release from the primary three-year sentence, Feri recently faced a separate trial at the District Court for Prague 3 regarding a 2015 incident. A woman alleged that when she was 17, Feri removed his condom during consensual intercourse without her permission \u2013 an act commonly referred to as \u201cstealthing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The case was initially closed by police, but the Constitutional Court intervened, ruling that non-consensual condom removal could be legally classified as rape. However, the District Court for Prague 3 acquitted Feri in this matter, ruling that the actions described in the indictment did not constitute a criminal offense. The judgment is not final and the prosecutor may still appeal the case.<\/p>\n

Feri has consistently maintained his innocence regarding this second allegation:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am announcing that the accusation is not based on the truth. I feel innocent,\u201c Feri said in court.<\/p>\n

Feri entered the Czech political landscape in 2014 as an 18-year-old student running for TOP 09 in the Teplice municipal elections. He quickly ascended to become a city representative, a municipal councilor, and eventually an MP.<\/p>\n

His political career collapsed in May 2021 when investigative reports by\u00a0Den\u00edk N\u00a0and\u00a0A2larm\u00a0published the compiled testimonies of multiple women alleging sexual assault. Following the expose, Feri resigned his parliamentary seat and withdrew from the upcoming legislative elections.<\/p>\n
