In Gelnhausen, Hesse, Germany, nine underage girls aged between 11 and 17 were reportedly sexually harassed by a group of Syrian men at an outdoor swimming pool. Four suspects, aged between 18 and 28, have been arrested, while a fifth remains at large. The victims stated that the perpetrators touched them on various parts of their bodies while they were in the water. The incident has sparked public outcry and political debate. Christian Litzinger, the CDU mayor of Gelnhausen, controversially attributed the incident to "high temperatures" causing tempers to flare. The local police and authorities are investigating the case, but the four arrested suspects have since been released, with officials claiming there is no flight risk. The attacks have intensified discussions on public safety in swimming pools across Germany, with calls from politicians, including Hess's interior minister and the AfD party, for stricter consequences and deportations of offenders. The case is part of a broader pattern of reported sexual assaults and harassment involving migrants in public pools in Germany and neighboring countries. In response to similar incidents, the Swiss city of Porrentruy near the French border has banned French nationals and other foreigners from accessing its public swimming pools during the summer to maintain safety and order, following complaints of harassment and disorderly conduct by young visitors. This measure marks a rare restriction based on nationality and has stirred debate within Switzerland and across the border in France.
