In a shocking scandal rocking Germany Gelnhausen, nine underage girls were sexually assaulted at the Barbarossabad swimming pool in the town of Gelnhausen, with the perpetrators identified as four Syrian men.
The heinous acts, reported on June 29th, have ignited fury across Germany, but CDU Mayor Christian Litzinger’s response has poured fuel on the fire.
In a jaw-dropping statement to Welt and Hessischer Rundfunk, Litzinger attributed the assaults to “hot weather” causing “frayed tempers,” dismissing the gravity of the crimes and sparking widespread condemnation.
The assaults, described as a “nightmare” by lokalo.de, saw the victims, all minors, subjected to horrific abuse while pool staff allegedly ignored their cries for help, presumably out of fear of being accused of “racism”.
Instead of decisive action, the pool management reportedly sent the girls back into the water, a move slammed as “unfathomable” by incredulous social media users. Public outrage has surged, with posts on X decrying Litzinger’s comments as victim-blaming and culturally insensitive, many simply attributing the horrendous incident to unchecked immigration and citing countless other similar atrocities.
Police are now investigating, urging other victims to come forward, while city patrols have been increased. Yet, the question burns: who pays for this failure? For many, Litzinger’s words are not just tone-deaf—they’re an insult to justice itself.
