Mass rapes and sexual assaults in several German cities and towns
During the 2015–2016 celebrations of New Year's Eve in Germany, approximately 1,200 women were sexually assaulted or raped, especially in the city of Cologne. In many of the incidents, while these women were in public spaces, they were surrounded and assaulted by large groups of migrant men and/or their offspring The Federal Criminal Police Office confirmed in July 2016 that 1,200 women had been sexually assaulted on that night. This was reported in the press and media and there were court cases in Germany. By April 2016, statistics recorded by authorities indicated that out of the identified 153 suspects in Cologne who were convicted of sexual offenses and other crimes on New Year's Eve, two-thirds were originally from Morocco or Algeria, 44% were asylum-seekers, another 12% were likely to have been in Germany illegally, and 3% were underaged unaccompanied refugees.
There was an attempt by German politicians and the police to cover up these crimes and not reveal the identity and race of the criminals. This cover up was exposed and did not succeed. Many of the criminals were prosecuted in courts.

It found roughly 2 percent of the German population by end of 2017, but was suspected of committing 8.5 percent of crimes (violations off the German alien law are not included). They are highly overrepresented for some types of crime. They account for 14.3 percent of all suspects in crimes against life (which include murder, manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter), 12.2 percent of sexual offences, 11.4 percent of thefts and 9.7 percent of body injuries. Migrants from most African countries, especially northern Africans are strongly overrepresented. Migrants from Afghanistan and Pakistan are particularly overerrepresented as suspects in sexual offenses.
In 2017, asylum seekers represented 2% of the population and 15.9% of suspects in rape and sexual assault cases.
