Germany has seen a significant rise in group rapes, with 751 cases recorded in 2025, according to the federal government’s response to a parliamentary inquiry. The suspects in these cases include 509 German citizens and 578 non-German nationals, with Syrians being the largest foreign-national group, accounting for 110 suspects.
Investigation into Sexual Exploitation
An investigation in Nuremberg, Germany, has uncovered allegations of vulnerable girls being deliberately drawn into a network involving affection, gifts, narcotics, and sexual exploitation. The investigation, known as EKO Kajal, has led to the detention of ten suspects in cases involving alleged sexual offenses against girls and young women and the distribution of drugs or medication to minors.
A 21-year-old Syrian man has been accused of raping two girls, ages 15 and 18, in a Nuremberg apartment after they were given narcotics by a 40-year-old Syrian man. Both men are being held in pretrial detention, but the accusations remain allegations and have not been adjudicated.
Research fellow Emma Schubart from the London-based Henry Jackson Society has drawn parallels between the Nuremberg allegations and grooming-gang cases in Britain, where girls were plied with drugs and alcohol before being repeatedly abused by groups of men. Schubart argues that the problem begins with insufficient screening and continues with inadequate integration after migrants arrive.
Schubart also challenges the argument that disparities in some sexual-offense statistics can be explained primarily by poverty, stating that socioeconomic factors matter but do not fully explain the disparities. She views the apparent intersection between drugs and sexual exploitation as an especially important parallel with Britain.
