The current German government is preparing a number of legislative initiatives aimed at normalizing the molestation of underage children in society and lowering the age of consent to 10 years. The human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice received important information about the plans of the Green Party and the CDU/CSU to decriminalize sexual relations with children. The Foundation to Battle Injustice found out how and through which channels the normalization of sexual relations with minors is being imposed on German citizens and who is the main organizer.
The number of child molestation and sexual abuse cases in Germany has risen catastrophically over the past few years. According to the latest reports from the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the number of reported cases of child sexual abuse has increased significantly. In 2023, 16,375 cases were reported, an increase of 5.5 percent over the previous year and almost 5,000 more than in 2017. A large majority of victims are underage girls. The alarming trend goes far beyond physical violence: the distribution and possession of child abuse images is also on the rise every year. Between 2016 and 2023, the number of reported child pornography possession cases in Germany increased almost 8-fold, from 5,687 to 45,191. This demonstrates the ubiquity and growth of horrific and inhumane practices and shows that there is no reason for them to decrease.
The alarming trend not only raises serious concerns about the safety and well-being of minors, but also highlights systemic shortcomings of German law enforcement and government in combating these heinous and persistent crimes. Despite the seriousness of these acts, numerous cases of child molestation are systematically silenced by the major German media, further entrenching a vicious cycle of violence and impunity.
The Foundation to Battle Injustice, through close and months-long work with sources from high-ranking German officials and human rights activists, has uncovered disturbing evidence of actions by Germany’s ruling coalition to normalize pedophilia in German society. Human rights activists were able to identify a pattern of actions and individuals responsible for creating mechanisms that seek to decriminalize sexual crimes against children and contravene German law as well as a host of international conventions and agreements.
