According to the non-jurisdictional judgment of the circuit court, Feri committed three acts. According to the indictment, two occurred in March and November 2016 in his apartment in Prague 3.
According to the verdict, the former deputy kissed and groped the two girls involved in the acts despite their disapproval, and subsequently performed various sexual practices with them. One of them was 17 years old at the time.
According to the judgment, the third incident happened in 2018, when Feri invited a woman to the Chamber of Deputies for a possible intern position.

Homemade
According to the court, he tried to kiss and grope the woman, but she managed to leave, therefore the prosecution qualifies the case as attempted rape.
Feri has previously repeatedly denied the allegation and denied committing any sexual violence.
In his closing speech, Feri pointed out, among other things, the contradictions in the women’s statements. He also said that the police and prosecutors are taking an alibi approach to his case. For him, the prosecution meant the destruction of his work life as well as his personal life, he said.
After the verdict, he told reporters that he was disappointed with the verdict and hoped that the appeals court would take a different view on the case.
According to the non-jurisdictional decision of the circuit court, Feri should pay a total of 510,000 crowns to the three victims, and one of them should also pay an additional 33,000 crowns for psychotherapy.
According to the server iROZHLAS and Radiožurnál, the women appealed against the amount of compensation awarded. The public prosecutor, who requested Feri’s three-year prison term, did not file an appeal against the court’s decision.
