Germany New Years Mass Sex Attacks May Be Linked To Crime Ring
COLOGNE, Germany (AP) — Police in Germany said Wednesday they are investigating whether a string of New Years Mass Sex Attacks and thefts during New Year’s celebrations in Cologne is linked to a known criminal network in the nearby city of Duesseldorf.
The assaults last week have prompted outrage in Germany and a fresh debate about immigration, after police said the perpetrators appeared to be of “Arab or North African origin.”
A more nuanced picture of what happened in the New Year’s Eve chaos outside the Cologne train station emerged Wednesday.
Police said about 1,000 men gathered there and that smaller groups surrounded individual women, harassed them and stole their belongings. Police do not believe all 1,000 men were involved in the attacks, though they have not said how many were.
The interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia state, where Cologne and Duesseldorf are located, told news agency dpa that police have identified three suspects but have not yet arrested anyone.
About 90 people filed criminal complaints, though police have not said how many of them were women who were sexually assaulted. At least one woman said she was raped.
Police said some of the assaults in Cologne appeared similar to incidents that have been reported over the past two years in Duesseldorf, where men have groped women to distract them before stealing their belongings. The two cities are 40 kilometers (25 miles) apart.
Markus Niesczeri, a spokesman for Duesseldorf police, said that since the start of 2014, officers there have identified more than 2,000 suspects of North African origin in connection with organized thefts, though he did not say how many. He declined to say whether there have been any arrests in those cases.
Duesseldorf police were working closely with their counterparts in Cologne to determine whether crimes in the two cities might be connected, Niesczeri said.
Authorities have cautioned that the nationality and residency status of the Cologne suspects is still unknown, since no one has been arrested.
Germany registered nearly 1.1 million people as asylum seekers last year, according to Interior Ministry figures released Wednesday, and some politicians who have called for limits on migration have seized on the incident in Cologne to bolster their position.
Germany’s top security official stressed that those involved must be punished regardless of where they come from. Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said that “you cannot draw a general suspicion against refugees from the indications that they were perhaps people who looked North African.”
He added that “a bit of patience is necessary to clear up as completely as possible the structure of the perpetrators and the organizational structures there might have been,” including whether there was any link to similar, smaller-scale incidents on New Year’s Eve in Hamburg.
De Maiziere noted that, under German law, criminal behavior has a direct effect on a person’s asylum proceedings if he or she is sentenced to at least three years in prison. He said that “we will have to talk about whether that needs to be changed.”
In any case, “anyone who commits serious crimes, whatever status he is in, must reckon with being deported from Germany,” de Maiziere said.

I can't leave the house on my own for a while.
Carlisle's too rapey at the moment.
I tell you what annoys me though.
All these girls statuses like "hope I don't get raped tonight :/"
And everyone talking about the poor girls . . . who's rapists are now locked up where they can't do any harm.
This is gonna sound very rude and insensitive out of context, but I know what I mean, so yeah.
