In Munich, a 37-year-old man is said to have touched two girls, aged twelve and 14, in the intimate area. The man swam up to the 14-year-old, touched her above her clothing and then moved away. The girl told her friend about it, who also claims to have been harassed in the same way. The two confided in the lifeguard, who called the police and held the suspect. The 37-year-old was reported; investigations are ongoing.

In Frankfurt, a 50-year-old man is said to have stood at a water slide on Sunday evening and “caught” two children sliding down, resulting in a sexual assault. Police arrested the intoxicated man. Earlier on Sunday, a 25-year-old had been arrested in a swimming pool in the Rödelheim district for allegedly indecently touching two 13-year-old girls. An employee had alerted the police.

In Neu-Ulm (Bavaria), two men are said to have harassed several girls on the same day at the same outdoor pool. A lifeguard called the police because a guest repeatedly swam up to a total of six girls in a current pool to touch their thighs or hips. As officers were escorting him to the patrol car, a bystander elbowed the suspect in the back. A few hours later, police were called again: a 50-year-old had allegedly touched two girls on the hip and stomach. According to police, there is no connection between the two cases. The men were released after identification. The assailant is being investigated for assault.
