Ceuta migrant surge tied to near-daily sexual assaults, prosecutors say
TL;DR Summary
Spanish prosecutors say 23 sexual assaults have been recorded in Ceuta since the mass migrant influx from Morocco in late July, including nine against children, equating to about one case per day as around 5,000 migrants remain in the enclave (roughly 72,000 crossed, most returned). The crisis has sparked unrest, a multi-million euro aid package for vulnerable migrants, and political tensions between Madrid and Rabat, with authorities stressing many victims do not report allegations and attributing misinformation online rather than state involvement.
