Shock in Munich: Man takes 13-year-olds in Maxvorstadt!

Elisenstraße, 80333 München, Deutschland - In Munich, a worrying incident has made headlines. A 13-year-old student was touched on Friday in Maxvorstadt by a 32-year-old Eritrean on the chest. The attack occurred around 10:45 a.m. in Elisenstrasse, while the girl was on the way with a classmate and a teacher. The student reacted promptly by knocking away the man's hand, whereupon he fled with a companion. Thanks to an immediately initiated search, the police were able to arrest the suspect only an hour later. It was identified by camera records in the old botanical garden, although he had changed after the attack. After the arrest, the man was transferred to the police headquarters' prison, and an investigative judge issued an arrest warrant against him on Saturday. ( TAG24 reports .)

These shocking events are not isolated. A woman was recently bothered in a regional train to Munich on Wednesday evening. The approximately 25-year-old perpetrator, who came into the train in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, sat behind the woman and sexually harassed her. When the train took up in Munich, the man fled towards the subway area of ​​the main train station, while the woman chose the police call. The perpetrator had already escaped when the federal police arrived. The shocking acts throw a bright light on the alarming development of sexual offenses, which, according to statistical surveys in Germany, have been increasing for years. 3

increase of sexual offenses

The worrying tendencies in the area of ​​sexual offenses cannot be overlooked. In 2024, a new high of around 128,000 cases was registered. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) attributes this to increased sensitivity and notification, but indicates a lush dark field where many cases remain undetected. Often the victims are traumatized and hesitate to report acts. Statistics show that around 91 percent of the victims of sex crimes are female. Young people and young women between the ages of 14 and 20 are particularly at risk. 3

This Situation illustrates the urgent need to further raise awareness of sexualized violence and to increase preventive measures. Every time such an incident occurs, there is also a social responsibility to question existing thinking patterns and actively fight for the protection of all people. This is the only way we can create a safe environment for our young people and keep them from these hideous acts.
