The director of the Criminal Police Association, André Schulz, estimates that up to 90% of the sex crimes committed in Germany do not appear in the official statistics.
"There is a strict order by the authorities to not report on crimes committed by refugees," a high-ranking police official in Frankfurt told Bild. "Only specific requests from media representatives about such acts are to be answered."
Germany's migrant sex-crime problem is being exacerbated by its lenient legal system, in which offenders receive relatively light sentences, even for serious crimes. In many instances, individuals who are arrested for sex crimes are released after questioning from police. This practice allows suspects to continue committing crimes with virtual impunity.

Germany's migrant rape crisis continues unabated. Preliminary statistics show that migrants committed more than a dozen rapes or sexual assaults every day in 2017, a four-fold increase since 2014, the year before Chancellor Angela Merkel allowed into Germany more than a million mostly Muslim male migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

A quarterly report — Criminality in the Context of Migration (Kriminalität im Kontext von Zuwanderung) — published by the Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA) showed that migrants (Zuwanderer, defined as asylum seekers, refugees and illegal immigrants) committed 3,466 sex crimes during the first nine months of 2017 — or around 13 a day. (Final crime statistics for 2017 will not be publicly available until the second quarter of 2018.) By comparison, in all of 2016 migrants committed 3,404 sex crimes, or around nine a day; in 2015, 1,683 sex crimes, or around five a day; in 2014, 949 sex crimes, or around three a day; and in 2013, 599 sex crimes, or around two a day.

The actual number of migrant-related sex crimes in Germany, however, is believed to be far higher than the official number. For instance, the BKA data includes only crimes that have been solved (aufgeklärten Straftaten). On average only around half of all crimes committed in Germany in any given year are solved (Aufklärungsquote), according to police statistics.

The director of the Criminal Police Association (Bund Deutscher Kriminalbeamter, BDK), André Schulz, estimates that up to 90% of the sex crimes committed in Germany do not appear in the official statistics.

German police frequently omit any references to migrants in crime reports. When they do, they often refer to migrant criminals with politically correct euphemisms such as "southerners" (Südländer), men with "dark skin" (dunkelhäutig, dunklere Gesichtsfarbe, dunklem Hauttyp) or a combination of the two: "southern skin color" (südländische Hautfarbe). This practice, apparently aimed at delinking the attackers with Islam, makes it virtually impossible for German citizens to help police identify suspects.

"There is a strict order by the authorities to not report on crimes committed by refugees," a high-ranking police official in Frankfurt told Bild. "Only specific requests from media representatives about such acts are to be answered."

Germany's migrant rape crisis has continued into 2018. Despite the mounting human toll, many of the crimes are unreported or downplayed as isolated incidents (Einzelfall) by German authorities and the media, apparently to avoid fueling anti-immigration sentiments.

On February 18, a 33-year-old woman was raped while visiting a cemetery in Bochum. The attacker ambushed the woman from behind and hit her on the head with a rock, rendering her unconscious. He then repeatedly raped her. Bochum police kept silent about the rape until pressed by Rheinische Post, a local newspaper. It subsequently emerged that the rapist is a convicted sex offender who had attended a "rehabilitation" program and was then released from custody.
Authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) apparently suppressed information about the rape to prevent public concern over the recidivism of convicted sex offenders. The police cover-up sparked public outrage. "The public, in my view, has a right to know that convicted sex offenders pose a real danger when they are back out," said a senior detective. "When something as horrible as Bochum happens, it has to be called by name, without any ifs or buts. When such important information is withheld from the public, people think everything is fine and that of course participants will not relapse." A police spokesperson said the media blackout was meant to protect the victim: "We know from psychologists that this is often very stressful for the victims." After a backlash, Bochum police admitted to making a "mistake."
On February 22, an 18-year-old British student on a class trip to Berlin was raped by two men after she became separated from her group. She was hospitalized for two days. Berlin police kept silent about the rape until the girl returned to Britain and her parents contacted British media outlets, which reported on the case. When pressed for information by Journalisten Watch, a media accountability group, Berlin police admitted that they had arrested two men in relation to the rape but released them due to a lack of evidence (Haftgründe lagen nicht vor).
On January 26, an "Asian or North African" man (orientalisch bis nordafrikanischer Herkunft) tried to rape a female student at the Goethe University in Frankfurt. It subsequently emerged that three other women had been attacked by a man who police believe is the same individual. Although the attacks occurred on October 6, December 29 and January 6, university officials did not warn students that a sex offender was stalking the campus until February 2, four months after the first attack.
On January 11, an unidentified man sexually assaulted two 15-year-old girls on a subway train in Munich. One of the girls managed to take a picture of the man, but police refuse to make the image public. A police blotter asks the public to help them find the man, described as follows: "Male, 170cm, 20s, skinny, red overcoat, dark pants, black shoes."
On January 10, police in Magdeburg released a photograph of a "dark-skinned" man (dunkle Hautfarbe) suspected of raping and seriously injuring a woman at the central railway station on June 27, 2017. Police did not say why they waited more than six months to make the image public.
On January 4, a 24-year-old man raped a woman at a school in Hanover. The police blacked out information about the man's nationality. Bild filled in the missing details: he is from Albania. A local newspaper, Hannoversche Allgemeine, initially reported that the man was from Albania; an hour later, however, it "updated" its story by replacing the word "Albania" with "the Balkans."

Many rapes and sexual assaults occur on public transportation or transport hubs such as bus and train stations. The problem is especially acute in Berlin, where police received 296 reports of sexual assaults on buses and trains in 2017, almost twice as many as in 2016, according to Bild.
On March 4, for instance, a 30-year-old Egyptian man who raped at least four women at or near subway stations in Berlin turned himself in after police published surveillance photos of him. The man chose his victims while riding on subway trains. He made eye contact with them, followed them out of the station and subsequently raped them. Berlin police blacked out information about the man's nationality. Berliner Zeitung filled in the missing details: he was born in Egypt.
On February 28, an 18-year-old Syrian asylum seeker sexually assaulted several women on a train to Munich. The man systematically made his way through the train and entered those compartments in which women were seated alone. He was arrested when the train arrived at the central railway station in Munich. Police said the man has a long rap sheet.
On January 10, a 31-year-old asylum seeker from Chad sexually assaulted two teenage girls on a regional express train originating in Müllheim. Police said the man had sexually harassed the girls on the station platform even before the train departed. After the girls boarded the train, he sat next to them and began sexually groping them. When girls then moved to another compartment, he followed and sexually assaulted them. The girls then locked themselves into one of the train's restrooms and called police. The man was detained when the train arrived in Freiburg. Police said the man — who has multiple outstanding warrants for other sexual crimes — had been arrested a day earlier for assaulting a woman on another train, but was released.

Germany's migrant sex-crime problem is being exacerbated by its lenient legal system, in which offenders receive relatively light sentences, even for serious crimes. In many instances, individuals who are arrested for sex crimes are immediately released after questioning from police. This practice allows suspects to continue committing crimes with virtual impunity.
On January 2, for instance, prosecutors in Traunstein reopened a case involving a 22-year-old Afghan exhibitionist after pressure from a local newspaper. The man repeatedly exposed himself to a 15-year-old girl on a school bus. In one instance, the girl filmed the man fondling himself and exposing his erect penis. Prosecutors dropped all charges after the Afghan said he was "scratching his penis because of an itch." After the Munich-based Wochenblatt uploaded the girl's video on YouTube, prosecutors reversed themselves and ordered the man to appear in court.

Hamburg, March 4. A 25-year-old illegal migrant from Kosovo was arrested for sexually assaulting a 29-year-old woman. The man had an outstanding arrest warrant and was on a deportation list.
Bad Krozingen, February 19. A 22-year-old Gambian man sexually assaulted a 25-year-old woman at a park. Police said the man had sexually assaulted another woman on February 3.

Tübingen, February 13. A 44-year-old Libyan migrant was arrested for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old woman. The man was questioned and released.
Esslingen, January 29. An 18-year-old Afghan asylum seeker raped a 13-year-old girl. It later emerged that the Afghan had a previous rape conviction but in December 2017 a court in Stuttgart ordered that he be released from custody.
Münster, January 14. A 23-year-old Afghan man physically and sexually assaulted a woman on a train. The man was questioned and released.
Hennigsdorf, January 2. A 35-year-old Polish man attempted to rape a 41-year-old woman. The man was released from custody after posting bail of €300 ($370). Police said the man had attempted to rape another woman in Thüringen in November 2017. It remains unclear why police continue to release him.
Freiburg, December 26. A 32-year-old Algerian asylum seeker sexually assaulted two 17-year-old girls at the central railway station. Police said the man had five outstanding arrest warrants.

Migrants often show extreme disrespect respect for law enforcement officers:

Warstein, March 1. A 37-year-old Moroccan man sexually assaulted a 36-year-old woman. When police tried to arrest the man, he attacked the officers.
Mainz, February 24. A 28-year-old Kenyan man sexually assaulted a 22-year-old woman at a restaurant. When police tried to arrest the man, he attacked the officers.
Marburg, February 12. A 20-year-old Eritrean man sexually assaulted a woman at a railway station. When police tried to arrest the man, he kicked and punched the officers.
Görlitz, January 8. A 30-year-old Moroccan man exposed himself to two police officers at a railway station. The officers were questioning him when he abruptly dropped his trousers.

Germany's mainstream media has been conspicuously silent concerning the migrant rape crisis. Only the most sensational crimes are covered by the national media, none of which has connected the dots and reported the big picture. This lapse may explain why there has been very little public outrage over the sanctioned criminality that has befallen so many German women and children.

Sexual Assaults and Rapes by Migrants in Germany, January-February 2018.

Police blotters show that Germany's migrant rape crisis — which continues unabated day after day — has now spread to cities and towns in all 16 of Germany's federal states. Public spaces have become increasingly perilous for women and children; they have been attacked by migrants at beaches, bike trails, cemeteries, discotheques, grocery stores, music festivals, parking garages, playgrounds, schools, shopping malls, taxis, public transportation (buses, trams, intercity express trains and subways), public parks, public squares, public swimming pools and public restrooms.
