Germany's federal police statistics show that 73.1 percent of underage victims in sexual violence cases involving foreign suspects are German. The data, obtained via a parliamentary inquiry, also shows foreign nationals account for 38 percent of such offenses despite making up roughly 17 percent of the population.
In German sexual violence cases involving at least one adult foreign suspect, 73.1 percent of underage victims are German. That figure comes from federal police data obtained through a parliamentary inquiry by Alternative for Germany MP Christopher Drößler and published exclusively in Junge Freiheit.
The data, drawn from Germany's Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik (PKS), covers rape, sexual assault, and particularly serious sexual assaults including those resulting in death. Authorities registered 800 minor victims in cases with at least one adult foreign suspect; 585 of them, or 73.1 percent, were German. Where suspects held only German nationality, the share of German minor victims rose to 95.2 percent, 1,192 out of 1,252.
The gap between those two numbers is the core of the finding. German suspects, the data shows, overwhelmingly target victims within their own national group. Foreign suspects do so at a substantially lower rate.
Country-of-origin breakdowns showed the same pattern across every major nationality group in 2025. Among cases involving Afghan suspects, 75.6 percent of minor victims were German, the PKS data shows. The share was 74.7 percent for Iraqi suspects, 81.6 percent for Turkish suspects, and 69.9 percent for Syrian suspects. Across all groups examined, the proportion did not fall below 69.7 percent.
The figure for Algerian suspects stood apart: in every single registered sexual assault case involving an Algerian suspect, 100 percent of underage victims were German.
The pattern extends to victims of all ages. Of 4,798 recorded sexual offense cases involving at least one foreign suspect, 2,752 victims (57.4 percent) were German, according to the parliamentary response. When suspects held only German citizenship, the figure was 90.4 percent (7,066 of 7,817). Foreign nationals make up nearly 17 percent of the German population, yet cases involving at least one foreign suspect accounted for 38 percent of offenses in this category, placing non-Germans roughly 2.3 times more frequently among suspects than their population share indicates.
The PKS 2025, presented by Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt on 20 April 2026, recorded 131,335 sexual offenses nationwide, up 2.8 percent on the previous year. Rape and serious sexual assault cases rose 8.5 percent to 14,454 and are now 71.7 percent higher than in 2018, according to federal government figures. Non-German suspects accounted for 38.5 percent of rape suspects. Dobrindt called the slight fall in overall violent crime a beginning but not a reason for complacency, and demanded consistent deportations of repeat offenders.
Drößler, who filed the parliamentary inquiry, said: "Migration is a security risk for Germans. Minors, in particular, are victims of foreign perpetrators." He argued that responsible policies "cannot avoid remigration measures."
Under German recording rules, a person holding both German and a foreign passport is counted as German regardless of their second citizenship, a practice the source notes has repeatedly skewed crime data. Every figure cited above is a floor.
