The number of sexual offence complaints almost quadrupled at this year’s carnival celebrations in Cologne, German police said Wednesday, despite heightened security aimed at preventing a repeat of the mass assaults that marred the city’s New Year celebrations.
A total of 66 complaints for sexual insults or aggression were lodged between last Thursday, when the carnival got underway and Wednesday morning. The previous year there were 18 such reports, police said.
However part of the rise could be down to “a change in the attitude of victims and witnesses,” the police added.
