increase in sexual offenses in Germany

Such incidents are unfortunately not an isolated case. The numbers of sexual offenses in Germany have been rising for years. Around 128,000 cases were recorded in 2024, which is considered the new high. As Statista , girls and young women between the ages of 14 and 20 are often affected. Around 91 percent of the victims of sex crimes are female, and even around 94 percent in rapes. In society there is often a great sensitivity and willingness to display, but a high dark area remains unobserved, since many victims are too traumatized to seek help.

Numerous similar incidents have also occurred in Rostock in the past. A pedestrian was only bothered in Tchaikovskistrasse in August 2024, and the previous year there was an attack on a 19-year-old in Kröpeliner Straße. These developments show that not only the number of reported cases increases, but also the importance of the public in combating such acts. A rethink in society is urgently needed to change the violence between the sexes and to encourage people affected to report.

The Rostock police also offered the victims and their relatives a support and appeals to all citizens of being careful and reporting every suspect observation. Changes begin on a small scale, and together society can make a significant contribution to more security.
