Last Sunday, a terrible incident took place at the Barbarossabad swimming pool, as reported by the Southeast Hesse Police Headquarters to a German newspaper Bild. The nationality of the individuals who were arrested in connection to the attacks was disclosed.

Several girls are said to have reported to pool staff that they had been assaulted by a group of men in the whirlpool area.

Two of the men arrested are reportedly related.

Criminal charges have since been filed against all of the suspects, who have also been banned from the pool following the harrowing incident.

Five young girls initially came forward to report the incidents, but as the assaults became public knowledge, more bravely came forward.

The victims also testified that they had been sexually harassed.

A total of eight girls aged just 11 to 16 were victims of sexual assault at the pool.

It currently cannot be ruled out that other girls or women were affected, reports claim.

It comes after a man was jailed for 11 years after sexually assaulting a teen girl at a UK public swimming pool.

The horrific assault happened after he watched her showering in the changing rooms.

According to reports from MEN Media, a court revealed that the teenager involved in the incident had experienced significant psychological distress, including enduring vivid nightmares triggered by the traumatic events.

The “dreadful impact” of what happened meant that the smell of chlorine makes her tense to this day.

Tomasz Figura, 46, of Cave Street, off Beverley Road, Hull, denied offences of assault by penetration, sexual assault and voyeurism.

But he was convicted by a jury after a trial at Hull Crown Court on April 8.

He failed to attend for sentencing at Grimsby Crown court on May 9 as he admitted he was “drunk”.

Three days later he was was arrested for also failing to attend at Hull Crown Court and was remanded in custody.

Judge Alexander Menary said of the victim: “The dreadful impact on her was apparent at trial.

“There was severe psychological harm here.

“She is still impacted by what happened to her.”

Figura was jailed for 11 years and was given an indefinite sexual harm prevention order and will have to register as a sex offender for life.
