- Stankovic was charged (on 3 March 2003 as amended on 8 December 2003) with crimes against humanity, including rape (Articles 172(1)(c), (e), (f) and (g) of the Criminal Code of BiH) for having set up a detention centre for (often under aged) women, having incited other soldiers to rape detainees, and having coerced several detainees into forced labor and sexual intercourse.
- Trial chamber verdict
- On 14 November 2006, the Court of BiH found Stankovic guilty for crimes against humanity, including enslavement, imprisonment, torture and rape for: (i) Establishing a detention centre (“Karaman’s House”), detaining at least nine female persons and inciting soldiers to rape them; (ii) Compelling detainees to forced labor, inside and outside of the detention center; (iii) Repeatedly raping a detainee, compelling her to forced labor at several locations and having her witness him raping her under aged sister; (iv) Raping a detainee at another detention centre. Stankovic was sentenced to sixteen years’ imprisonment.
- sentencing
- The Appellate Panel increased the sentence from 16 to 20 years' imprisonment. Shortly afterwards, Stankovic escaped from jail. He was recaptured in January 2012. he was then sentenced to another two Year' imprisonment for using force while escaping.
- Appeals chamber verdict
- The prosecution appealed against the sentence of 16 years’ imprisonment and the acquittal of one of the charges (forcibly taking a female patient from a hospital in Foca and raping her). Stankovic himself basically contested all the Court’s findings, most notably stating that the witness statements were false and fabricated. On 28 March 2007, the Appellate Panel left intact the entire verdict, though it raised the sentence to 20 years’ imprisonment.
