Individual reportedly pursued and annoyed a 14-year-old within a swimming facility - Underage swimming pool assault accused: Adult reportedly commits inappropriate acts against 14-year-old
In the picturesque town of Wiesbaden, Germany, authorities are investigating two separate incidents of alleged harassment at public swimming pools this summer.
On Wednesday, police made arrests in connection with an incident at an unspecified swimming pool. A 23-year-old man is alleged to have sexually harassed and struck a 14-year-old girl. The girl was reportedly slightly injured. 1
The location of the swimming pool is yet to be disclosed, and no further identifying details about the suspect have been provided. The police have taken a report regarding the incident, but no details about any potential witnesses or evidence have been shared.
This is not the first such incident in Wiesbaden this season. Earlier in the summer, a 14-year-old girl was allegedly molested at another swimming pool in the town. 1
Authorities have emphasised the importance of vigilance in public spaces such as swimming pools to ensure visitor safety amid these troubling repeated incidents. However, there are no detailed, separate new reports specifically describing further repeated sexual harassment cases at public pools in Wiesbaden beyond these arrests.
In addition to these incidents, there has been an unrelated case of an abduction and assault of a child at the Rulantica water park (not in Wiesbaden but regionally related), where police identified a suspect and continue to investigate. 1
As of mid-August 2025, the most recent developments are:
- Arrests of two men in Wiesbaden linked to assaults on two young girls in a public swimming pool. 1
- Ongoing police investigations and calls for witnesses to enhance safety and prevent future incidents. 1
- No additional specific new publicly reported cases or official updates beyond these arrests in Wiesbaden have been found in the current search results.
If more recent or detailed official statements or local news become available, they would provide further clarity on repeated harassment incidents at swimming pools in Wiesbaden. Currently, the situation reflects serious concern and active law enforcement action following these recent cases. 1
