Fast access: 32-year-old arrested after attack on student!

Elisenstraße, 80333 München, Deutschland - A shocking incident occurred on Friday, May 30, 2025, on Elisenstrasse in Munich. A 13-year-old student was sexually harassed by a 32-year-old man. The perpetrator, an Eritrean without a permanent residence in Germany, attacked the student above her clothes. The courageous resistance of the girl who made the attacker's hand prevented worse. Immediately after the crime, the classmate and the teacher alerted the emergency call, which initiated the rapid search measures of the police. These led around an hour after the attack to arrest the suspect, which could be identified by video surveillance in the old botanical garden. On Saturday, May 31, 2025, an arrest warrant was issued by an investigative judge, and the suspect was transferred to the Haftanstalt of the Munich Police Headquarters. The investigation is directed by the Commissioner 17, as Nachrichten München reports.

The serious topic of sexual harassment is not only evident in individual cases, but also represents a widespread problem. In many areas of society, such as schools, daycare centers or at work, sexual assault and harassment are the order of the day. Despite all efforts, there can be no guarantee of the security of employees. Perpetrators often choose positions with trust and dependency relationships that enable them to present themselves as sympathetic and helpful, which makes it difficult for outsiders to suspect misconduct. As the city of Munich emphasizes in a message, institutions are particularly at risk without clear concepts in dealing with suspicions.

The context of sexual harassment

sexual harassment alone includes numerous forms that range from taxing looks to obscene jokes to physical assault. It ranges from "random" touches to targeted attacks, as has happened in this case. These acts can happen anywhere - in public space, in schools, at work or even in your own four walls. Girls and women are particularly affected, and the discomfort of the people concerned is the focus here. The Organization [Women against Violence] (https://www.frauen- against-gart.de/de/infothek/sexuelle-belaestigung/kemale-und-ttml) explains that many forms of sexual harassment are often perceived as "normal" or "typically male". Nevertheless, women and girls have the right to set their limits and be respected.

In order to counteract this problem, the city of Munich has set up a professional complaint office that deals with suspected cases and offers specialist advice. Cooperation with the police and the public prosecutor and the development of prevention measures are crucial steps to make the procedure difficult. Citizens and their children should be able to rely on their safety, which is inevitable in view of the recent events.
