Germany recorded 18,585 cases of sexual abuse against children and young people last year, averaging 50 victims a day, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced in Berlin. Of these, 16,354 involved children under 14 and 1,191 involved youths aged 15–17.
Authorities registered 12,368 suspects, with one-third under 18. In 57% of cases, the victim and perpetrator knew each other. The report also logged over 52,000 crimes involving child sexual imagery, mostly online. Dobrindt called the figures “shockingly high” and urged strict prosecution of offenders.
