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.
