A 15-year-old Syrian migrant has been accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl at a public pool in Braunschweig, Germany, earlier this month. The incident, which occurred in early August, was allegedly covered up by local authorities until it was exposed by the Braunschweiger Zeitung after an anonymous tip.

Local prosecutor and pool management confirmed the timeline of events following inquiries from the newspaper. Despite the serious nature of the incident, details remained undisclosed for weeks, raising concerns about transparency and accountability within the local police force.

This revelation has sparked outrage among community members and advocates for victims of sexual violence, who demand a thorough investigation into the handling of the case. The migrant’s identity has not been released due to his age, as he is still considered a minor under German law.

The fallout from this incident may lead to increased scrutiny of how similar cases are managed in the future, particularly in light of rising tensions surrounding immigration and public safety. As previously reported, similar situations have led to public outcry and demands for reform in law enforcement practices across the country.
