Aurel Birlan repeatedly assaulted his victim over the course of nearly two hours, which ended only when he was challenged by a passer-by.

The crimes were committed in the early hours of a December morning 2021, when Birlan was interrupted by the man who had met him and the victim in a public place. The man noticed she was undressed, not moving, and appeared to be injured. He interrogated Birlan about what had occurred before dialling 911 and waiting with both the offender and the victim until police arrived.
