A worrying development
This incident is part of a worrying development in Germany, where the number of recorded sexual offenses has been increasing for years. A peak of around 128,000 cases were reported in 2024, as statista.com reported. In most cases, the victims are women who often remain silent out of fear or shame and thus remain in a shadowy area.
Around 91 percent of sexual crime victims were female; In the case of rape, this number is around 94 percent. Adolescents and young women between the ages of 14 and 20 are particularly at risk. This is alarming because there is usually no connection between victims and perpetrators, which further complicates the situation because perpetrators can lurk in any environment.
