Collien Fernandes

Collien Fernandes, a German actress and presenter, is in the news due to accusations she has made against her ex-husband, actor Christian Ulmen. Fernandes alleges that Ulmen engaged in identity misuse, specifically by creating fake profiles and leading others to believe they were interacting with her sexually. Initially, Fernandes filed a complaint in Spain, but the Spanish judicial system has deemed itself not responsible and is transferring the case to German authorities. The investigation has now been taken over by the Potsdam public prosecutor's office, following earlier involvement from authorities in Itzehoe and Berlin. The case highlights issues of digital sexual violence and has sparked discussions about victim protection within the legal system, with some suggesting that sexual criminal law should be integrated into law studies.
