A German lawyer hopes to drum up more business by pursuing state compensation claims for people who believe they were abducted by aliens.
“There’s quite obviously demand for legal advice here,” Jens Lorek told Reuters by telephone on Thursday. “The trouble is, people are afraid of making fools of themselves in court.”
Lorek, a lawyer based in the eastern city of Dresden who specializes in social and labor law, said he hoped to expand his client base by taking on the unusual work.
He has yet to win any abduction claims, but says there are plenty of potential clients, noting that extra-terrestrial watchdogs report scores of alien assaults every year.
“These people could appeal for therapies or cures,” he said.
Lorek, 41, is pinning his hopes for success on a German law which grants kidnap victims the right to state compensation.
It’s refreshing to hear from a lawyer whose sleazy outlook on life doesn’t lead him into politics. After all, as a politician he could steal directly from the public coffers.

The victims get paid by the state….not the kidnapper?? What kind of sense does that make?
Um, isn’t this the natural progression of the welfare state? The public being made to pony up for healthcare (in this case mental) expenses regardless of the cause or who is at fault?
I mean, if you can eat yourself to diabetes and then expect everybody else to help pay your medical bills, then surely an alien “abductee” should be able to expect the public to pay for his shrink.
What about people who suffer distress because the government tells them they’re going crazy as part of a cover up?
No, I don’t mean if there really are flying saucers. I mean if the government creates the appearance of a flying saucer cover up in order to hide a black project.
Can a government–in the interest of national security–reasonably tell a person that they are crazy without a legitimate psychological exam?
It happened to me, I was impregnated but the damned gestation period is forty-five of our years so people think I’m just fat. But recently I’ve felt the beginnings of the birth process so at the very least I’m gonna need food stamps, and probably some counseling, as well.
