A 33-year-old man has been charged for allegedly being responsible for dropping a teenager into a cauldron of boiling water during a "witch carnival" in south Germany, leaving her with severe injuries and "life-long" scars.
Reinhold K. made his appearance in court on charges of negligent assault, though he insists he was not the one who dropped 18-year-old Janine into the cauldron.
According to the Daily Mail, the incident happened at the 'Witchcraft Eppingen' festival in Baden Württemberg this past February when Janine was watching a group of 19 people dressed in witch costumes pulling along the cauldron of boiling water in a cart.
