The facility, run by Europa-park, is located in Rust, Baden-Württemberg, near the French border. German police said the sick attack took place on Saturday, August 9, L'Alsace reported. After sexually abusing her, the suspect reportedly left her alone in the woods. She was then found by a local passerby around 10pm the same day. The area she was discovered in was about 5km from the water park, and she was only wearing a swimsuit. The suspect is reportedly a 31-year-old Romanian national. He was living in the local region at the time of the attack, reports say. Cops are desperately continuing their manhunt for the suspect. And they put out an appeal for any information that may lead to his arrest. I was sexually assaulted hundreds of feet in air while on paraglide ride during Tunisia holiday… I felt violated and dirty Police said: "Anyone present in Rulantica or in the wooded area north of the park on Saturday between 8:20 p.m. and 10:20 p.m. who may have noticed the presence of the man and the girl should contact the German authorities." The beloved Rulantica water park can hold a maximum of 6,000 visitors per day. It comes after there were reportedly hundreds of reports of sexual assaults in public swimming pools in Germany - in what has been called an epidemic. In one of the worst hit regions, 74 alleged attacks have been recorded recently with several involving children - including eight young girls in one day. The issue started to raise questions across Germany after a concerning number of reports were made in June. Cops arrested four Syrian suspects, aged 18 to 28, the next month and accused them of sexually assaulting up to eight girls in a public swimming pool in Hesse. The victims were aged between 11 to 16 and had all been at the Barbarossabad pool on the same day. Criminal charges were filed against all of the suspects, who were also been banned from the pool following the harrowing incident.

Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti given prison sentence for tax fraud
A Spanish court handed Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti a one-year prison sentence for failing to pay tax on his image rights revenues in 2014 when the Italian was Real Madrid manager, according to a statement. Ancelotti, who managed Real Madrid from 2013 to 2015 and between 2021 and 2025, was cleared of a similar charge for 2015, as the court could not prove he had stayed long enough in Spain to incur tax liabilities. He moved to London after Real Madrid sacked him in May 2015 before becoming Bayern Munich manager in 2016. Ancelotti is likely to receive a suspended sentence as, under Spanish law, any sentence under two years for a non-violent crime rarely requires a defendant without previous convictions to serve jail time. He was accused of deliberately misinforming the tax office to avoid paying more than €1m (£833,000) in income tax. In addition to the one-year prison sentence, he was also ordered by the Madrid court to pay a fine of €386,000 (£332,768). Prosecutors had been seeking a prison term of four years and nine months, and a fine of €3.2m (£2.76m). When asked about his income from the transfer of his image rights to Real Madrid, Ancelotti said: 'I was only concerned with collecting six million net for three years, and I never realized anything was wrong , and I never received any communication that the Prosecutor's Office was investigating me. 'When Real Madrid proposed this to me (referring to the transfer of image rights) I contacted my English advisor and never went into the matter because everything seemed correct to me. I didn't think it could be fraud, although if I'm here, I believe things weren't so correct.' Ancelotti continued to deny wrongdoing throughout his trial. The 66-year-old former AC Milan, Chelsea and Everton manager is the latest of several football players and coaches to be investigated and convicted by the Spanish tax authority for alleged tax fraud.

97pc of under-18s in Spain have been victims of sexual abuse
Ninety-seven per cent of children in Spain have been the victims of some form of sexual abuse, according to a report by Save the Children. The report, based on interviews with 1,000 young people between the ages of 18 and 21, highlighted both the scale of abuse and the lack of children's awareness of online dangers. Of those questioned, 33 per cent said that during their childhood they had been contacted online by an adult with sexual intent, and 38 per cent said they had received sexual comments or images without their consent. The study also found that one in five of the respondents had experienced a situation in which AI-created 'deepfake' images depicting them naked had been shared with their peers. These 'deepfake' images were used as a form of bullying among children, and also by adult sexual predators as a way to blackmail victims, the report explained. Almost 70 per cent, however, said they did not perceive any risk from AI-generated photos or videos. Victim felt 'it was her fault' Lucía López, a Save the Children educator in Alicante, in the south-east of Spain, described a case in which a 12-year-old girl was threatened by an adult who told her that if she did not send an intimate photo of herself, he would publish naked photos of her created using AI. 'The girl claimed she had never forwarded photos of herself with that type of content, but she felt she had caused the situation and that it was her fault,' Ms López said. According to the latest official data from Spain's interior ministry, the police received 4,896 reports of cyber crimes against children and adolescents in 2023, of which 1,068 were sexual offences. 'These figures represent only the tip of the iceberg, as most cases go unreported, partly due to the lack of reporting and partly due to the difficulties in detection, which increase when these incidents occur online,' said Catalina Perazzo, a social impact director at Save the Children.
