18 women in Germany have filed complaints to police of sexually assaulted at a musical festival in Darmstadt. They allege they were assaulted by Pakistan refugees. Three refugees have been arrested by police, German newspaper, Die Wilt, reports.
The sexual assaults are alleged to have occurred at the Schlossgrabenfest music festival in the city of Darmstadt, near Frankfurt, on Saturday night. Three of the women immediately reported the assault to police. They said they had been surrounded and then sexually harassed by a group of men who were of South Asian appearance.
“Unfortunately several women were sexually harassed on Saturday, when the dance floor area was completely packed,” the police said in a press statement.
Three suspects, from Pakistan between the ages of 28 and 31. Police believe some of the attackers are still at large.
Worryingly,a further 15 women have come forward since Tuesday, to say they were sexually assaulted at the festival.
The women all claim they were surrounded by a group of men, who subsequently assaulted them.
The festival in Darmstadt took place over four days and attracted some 400,000 revelers.
Only two weeks earlier, two female teenagers, 17 and 18-years old respectively, were sexually harassed by a group of 10 men during a street festival in Berlin.
The men allegedly pressed against the teens and groped them, blocking their attempts to escape. These men are a menace to society, and should be caught and ejected from the country as quickly as possible. Evil and self centered perverts like these have no place in any civil society.
ARREST
Police arrested three teenagers between 14 and 17 years of age at the scene, and later revealed that two of the suspects were known to police to the police from prior incidents. They said that “two are of Turkish descent and the third is [of] unknown origin.”
The attacks are alarming and similar in nature to attacks last christmas in Cologne when over 1,000 complaints of sexual attacks were committed by men of African and Middle Eastern descent. It raises questions as to whether this are targeted attacks by these refugees, and does much harm to relations between the German community and refugees. Why these refugees are behaving so lawlessly is a huge concern and worry, calling for urgent action and surveillance from German police to protect their citizens.
FIRE
German police came under fire for their perceived lack of activity during the New Year’s Eve celebrations in the city and poor investigations into the crimes. It will be hoped that they have learnt from that and will operate differently and more effectively in response to these latest attacks.
