German government data shows that foreigners made up a record 53% of all gang rape suspects in 2025 — even though they make up only about 14% of the country’s population.

Story Highlights

• German federal data confirms 53% of gang rape suspects in 2025 were non-German nationals, a record high tied to the migration wave that began in 2015.
• Out of 1,083 total suspects across 751 cases, the top foreign nationalities were 110 Syrians, 64 Afghans, 46 Iraqis, and 44 Turks.
• Sexual offenses involving Syrian suspects exploded from just 24 cases in 2013 to 726 in 2025 — a 30-fold increase in 12 years.
• 72% of all gang rape suspects were already known to police before they committed the offense.

What the Government Data Actually Shows

Germany’s federal government released the numbers after a parliamentary inquiry by the Alternative for Germany party. The data covers 751 confirmed gang rape cases in 2025 with 1,083 identified suspects. Of those suspects, 53% were foreign nationals. The top groups were 110 Syrians, 64 Afghans, 46 Iraqis, and 44 Turks. That means foreigners — roughly 14% of Germany’s total population — made up more than half of all gang rape suspects.

The data also showed that 80% of victims were German citizens. Cases involving victims under age 18 in Syrian-related sexual offenses jumped from just 4 in 2013 to 279 in 2025. That is a staggering rise in crimes against children. On top of that, 72% of all suspects were already known to police before the attack happened — meaning the system had prior contact with most of these offenders and did not stop them.

A Problem That Grew With Open Borders

Gang rape was rare in Germany before 2015. That was the year Europe opened its doors to a massive wave of migrants, mostly from Syria, Afghanistan, and other Middle Eastern and African nations. The numbers have climbed steadily since then. Syrian suspects alone went from being involved in 24 sexual offense cases in 2013 to 726 cases in 2025. That is not a small statistical blip. That is a 30-fold increase that lines up directly with Germany’s open-border immigration policies.

This is exactly the kind of consequence that critics of unchecked mass migration warned about for years. European leaders dismissed those warnings as racist or xenophobic. Germany took in over a million migrants in 2015 alone. Now the government’s own data shows the real-world cost — paid most heavily by German women and children who became victims.

Media and Officials Try to Change the Subject

Germany’s then-Interior Minister Nancy Faeser responded to the broader rise in sexual violence by pointing to “young people” and “child offenders” as the main drivers — not immigration. That framing lets officials avoid the hard question the data raises. Meanwhile, some fact-checkers labeled earlier versions of these statistics “uncheckable,” even though the numbers come directly from the German federal government.

Some researchers argue that raw suspect counts do not prove a direct cause-and-effect link between immigration and crime. They say factors like age, unemployment, and poverty matter too. That is a fair point for academic debate. But it does not explain away a 30-fold surge in one nationality’s involvement in sexual crimes over 12 years. The German people deserve honest answers — not deflection dressed up as nuance. When 72% of suspects were already in the system and still went on to commit these crimes, that is a policy failure with real victims.
