Such events are in the context of a troubling increase in sexual offenses against children and adolescents in Germany. According to a current evaluation of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the number of registered cases of sexual abuse rose to 16,375 in 2023, which represents an increase of 5.5 % compared to the previous year. The report includes sobering findings, including the fact that over 55 % of the victims had already had a previous relationship with the perpetrators, through grooming. Cyber-Grooming, a method of initiating sexual contacts via the Internet, is a worrying phenomenon that can be punished with prison terms of up to five years. This information was published in the BKA-LAGEBILD.

The number of unreported cases also often remains high because many acts, especially in the family environment, are not reported. The police have reacted to these developments and increased the number of employees who deal with sexual abuse in minors in recent years. It is to be hoped that more perpetrators can be held accountable in the future and that security for children and adolescents in Rostock and beyond.
