The majority union of the Spanish National Police, Jupol, reported a serious series of sexual assaults against minors in Ceuta and confirmed the existence of at least two group rapes against girls aged 10 and 14, amid the crisis triggered by the massive entry of illegal immigrants recorded on July 30.
Laura García, spokesperson for the police organization, provided details about the incidents during a television interview and stated that health professionals who attended to the victims were shocked by the severity of the injuries.

According to the union representative, the doctors claimed that "they had never seen such an atrocity in a sexual assault". García added that the situation would not be limited to these two cases and noted that at least four boys had also suffered sexual assaults and remain hospitalized.
The police organization has also been warning about the insecurity surrounding the Temporary Stay Center for Immigrants (CETI). According to García's testimony, several minors seek to stay close to police vehicles for fear of suffering new attacks.
"The rapists are roaming free in Ceuta", denounced the Jupol spokesperson while describing the situation facing the Spanish city. The union has been insisting for several days on the vulnerability of minors who continue to be exposed on the streets during the migration emergency.
The figures released by police unions and health sources worsen the scenario. According to those records, between 13 and 15 reports of sexual assaults have been filed since the beginning of the crisis, with a significant presence of minors among the alleged victims.

The situation began after the massive entry of illegal immigrants on July 30, which increased pressure on security forces and reception centers in Ceuta. In this context, police unions are demanding a response to the succession of reported incidents and warn about the difficulties in ensuring the safety of those remaining in areas abandoned by Pedro Sánchez.
The reports now known once again highlight the consequences of the migration crisis affecting Ceuta, while investigations continue into each of the reported attacks and the medical care of the affected minors.
