BERLIN - Migrants have been banned from a historic swimming bath in Germany after a gang of men were caught on camera masturbating in a hot tub and sexually assaulting women. Several other men were seen 'emptying their bowels' in the children's end of the main swimming pool at the Johannisbad baths in Zwickau, Saxony.
Management at the historic baths are reportedly no longer allowing migrants into the facilities following the allegations while some local swimmers have stayed away after the incidents.
An asylum seeker has masturbated in the hot tub and ejaculated into the basin. This is also recorded on the surveillance camera', civilian servant Rainer Kallweit said.
'Furthermore, the lifeguards have to protect women and girls from the asylum seekers. Young men wanted to forcibly penetrate the female changing room,' he said, describing another incident at another swimming pool, according to Breitbart.
Police have arrested several men in connection to the incident at the baths. The men have since been released. The news comes following confirmation from the German police that the wave of sexual assaults and robberies on New Year's eve did not only happen in Cologne but that similar incidents also took place in 12 of Germany's regional states.
Hundreds of women have reported they were groped and robbed by mainly North African suspects outside Cologne's main train station where crowds had gathered to ring in the New Year. It has also been claimed that several young men wanted to 'forcibly penetrate the female changing room'. The sex attacks in Cologne on New Year's Eve sparked outrage after it was revealed the attackers were migrants
Similar assaults, however, also took place that night in 12 of Germany's 16 regional states, according to the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung and the NDR and WDR television stations, citing a report by German judicial police (BKA).
'The phenomenon of sexual violence, in part linked with robberies, is much greater than we previously thought,' the newspaper said on its website, adding that the regional states were affected to different degrees.
The most affected state was North Rhine-Westphalia, which includes the city of Cologne, where 1,000 complaints have been filed, followed by Hamburg with 200. In other states the number of reported incidents was lower: Hesse (31 complaints); Bavaria (27), Baden-Wurtlemberg (25), Bremen (11) and Berlin (6).
Protests were held after the Cologne attacks, with women shouting slogans and hold up a placard that reads 'Against Sexism - Against Racism' as they marched through the main railways station of Cologne. One case was reported in Lower-Saxony, Brandeburg, Saxony, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland.
Like Cologne the target of the assaults were women in almost all cases. According to witnesses, the aggressors were often young men of foreign origin, between 17 and 30 years old.
The assaults in Cologne, which police have blamed on young men from North Africa and other Arab countries, have ignited a fierce debate over Chancellor Angela Merkel's policy of welcoming refugees to Germany which received one million asylum seekers in 2015.
On Saturday, Aydan Ozoguz, who handles integration issues for the government, told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that the New Year's assaults had 'poisoned' the atmosphere in Germany. 'Several hundred criminals do not represent a million refugees,' she said.
