New shocking data revealing the overrepresentation of foreigners in serious sexual offenses and the disproportionate number of German victims in such cases, especially minors.
The data, from the German federal government, was revealed after a parliamentary inquiry from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP Christopher Drößler. In cases involving at least one foreign suspect, the majority of victims were German, with the cases involving rape, sexual assault, and particularly serious sexual assaults, including those resulting in death.
The data, which was exclusively provided to German newspaper Junge Freiheit, shows that young Germans are victimized at high rates by foreigners. In cases involving at least one adult foreign suspect, authorities registered 800 minor victims, of whom 585, or 73.1 percent, were German. Where the adult suspects held only German nationality, 1,192 of 1,252 underage victims, or 95.2 percent, were German.
While German suspects appear to target those of their own group, foreign suspects appear to be very willing to target Germans at a much higher rate.
Country-of-origin breakdowns for underage victims show similarly elevated shares. In 2025, the proportion of German underage victims was at least 69.7 percent across the groups examined. Syrian suspects were associated with 69.9 percent German minor victims, Afghan suspects with 75.6 percent, Iraqi suspects with 74.7 percent, and Turkish suspects with 81.6 percent.
Remarkably, in all registered sexual assault cases involving Algerian suspects, the underage victims were German in 100 percent of cases.
AfD parliamentarian Drößler slammed the number of sexual violence offenses from migrants and the fact that
“Migration is a security risk for Germans,” said Drößler. “Minors, in particular, are victims of foreign perpetrators.“
He said that Germany’s youth deserve “a future in a safe homeland,” while adding that “responsible policies cannot avoid remigration measures.“
Data on sexual perpetrators and victims of all ages
The data involving foreigners and victims of all ages is not much better. Of 4,798 recorded cases with at least one foreign suspect, 57.4 percent, or 2,752 of the victims, were German, according to the data. By contrast, when suspects held only German citizenship, Germans accounted for 90.4 percent of victims (7,066 out of 7,817). In the remaining 751 cases (9.6 percent), the victims of German suspects were foreign.
Generally speaking, people who hold another citizenship besides a German passport are automatically considered “Germans,” despite their second citizenship. For example, if a Turkish citizen commits a crime but he also has German citizenship, he is only recorded as a “German.” This has often skewed data in crime reporting. The migration background of suspects is not recorded at the federal level and only available in a few German states.
Foreign nationals make up nearly 17 percent of the population, yet situations involving at least one foreign alleged perpetrator accounted for 38 percent of the sexual offenses in this category. This places non-Germans roughly 2.3 times more frequently among suspects than their population share would indicate.
The share of German victims remained high across the largest groups of foreign suspects.
Among those identified as Syrian, 451 of 749 victims were German (60.2 percent). Turkish suspects were linked to 340 German victims out of 546 (62.3 percent), Afghan suspects to 291 of 513 (56.7 percent), and Iraqi suspects to 146 of 263 (55.5 percent). Moroccan and Algerian suspects each showed 72.9 percent German victims, while the figure for Kosovo stood at 67.2 percent.
Only among Polish, Bulgarian, Iranian, and Ukrainian suspects did the proportion of German victims fall below 50 percent.
