The child lost sight of her parents during a visit to the popular Rulatica water park in Germany.
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.

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.

'Brilliant' BBC crime drama is 'great' alternative to Midsomer Murders and returns this month

The programme unfolds in 1960s rural Warwickshire and stars comic Lorna Watson Charming detective series Sister Boniface Mysteries is making its return to BBC One later this month. ‌ The Father Brown spin-off centres on the title character, who made her debut in the initial series of the period drama, featuring Mark Williams. ‌ The programme unfolds in 1960s rural Warwickshire, where Sister Boniface, a wine-producing nun holding a PHD in forensic science, assists police with their criminal investigations. ‌ The crime series, which premiered in 2022, proves ideal for enthusiasts seeking to bridge the interval between instalments of programmes such as Grantchester and Midsomer Murders. Featuring an intriguing cast of eccentric and endearing personalities, a collection of baffling mysteries and a scenic setting, the comedy-drama offers viewers welcomed nostalgic escapism. What is Sister Boniface Mysteries about? The programme takes place in rural Warwickshire during the 1960s, an era when DNA remains undiscovered and the concept of trace evidence is still emerging. The synopsis adds: "Fortunately, the Great Slaughter Constabulary has a secret weapon in its fight against crime. Hidden deep in the countryside is St Vincent's Convent, a small community of wine-making nuns where ensconced in a laboratory is Sister Boniface [played by Lorna Watson]. "An IQ of 156 and a PHD in forensic science, plus an addiction to popular detective fiction and a fully equipped crime laboratory, make Boniface an invaluable aid to Police investigations. Mud, blood, stains, hairs and fibres. If there is evidence to be found, Boniface will find it. Poisons, trace evidence, blood stains, etymology. She's more up to speed on the latest forensic techniques than the Police. ‌ "In her role as official Police Scientific Advisor, Boniface works alongside the dashing Detective Inspector Sam Gillespie and Felix Livingstone, a high-flying Bermudian Detective Sergeant. Felix was supposed to be on secondment to the Metropolitan Police, but an administrative error landed him in Great Slaughter. "A cast of eccentric local characters combined with his boss's reliance on a nun leaves him reeling. Although, as Sam points out, that 'Nun' ensures they have the highest clean-up rate in the county." ‌ What have fans said about the programme? Fans have heaped praise on the series across social media platforms, with countless viewers drawing comparisons to beloved cosy crime dramas including Midsomer Murders and The Brokenwood Mysteries. One enthusiastic fan gushed on social media, as they took to Twitter: "I can not tell you how much I love Sister Boniface Mysteries , it's one of the most brilliant TV shows I've ever watched." Someone else added: "I love watching Sister Boniface Mysteries. What a great TV show. " A third viewer wrote: "Watching Sister Boniface Mysteries, good fun. A spinoff of Father Brown, but with more quirkiness and whimsy." How to watch Sister Boniface Mysteries The second series of Sister Boniface Mysteries is set to debut on BBC One at 2 pm on Friday, August 22, with new episodes anticipated to be broadcast weekly. The entire box set will also be accessible on iPlayer.

NFL to review Isaiah Bond's sexual assault case after Texas cops declined to charge Browns hopeful

The NFL is reviewing the case of rookie free-agent wide receiver Isaiah Bond after Frisco, Texas police declined to proceed with sexual assault charges against him in April. NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy told on Friday that Bond's case is currently being reviewed. The league's personal conduct policy does not require criminal charges in order for a player to be punished, so the fact that Bond wasn't charged won't protect him from a possible suspension. Bond has not signed with a team yet, but previously announced his intention to join the Cleveland Browns. ESPN is reporting that Bond will meet the Browns in Cleveland on Saturday night to finalize his deal following the team's preseason game in Philadelphia earlier in the day. 'First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Cleveland Browns for believing in me and allowing me the opportunity to continue my career in the NFL,' Bond said in a statement after charges against him were dropped. 'Football has been my passion since I was six years old, and playing at this level is a blessing I will never take for granted. I understand that playing in the NFL is a privilege, and I'm thankful every day to live my childhood dream. 'I know there have been questions and reports about the recent allegations,' he continued. 'I am grateful for the decision of the prosecutor and the courts not to pursue charges. I will learn from this experience as I grow in wisdom, character, and faith. 'On the advice of my attorney, I will not discuss the details of this case, but I want to be clear: from the very beginning I have refuted these allegations and maintained my innocence. I stand firm by that today.' Details of the allegations remain unclear, but Bond has filed suit against his accuser, claiming their encounter was consensual and that the woman was seeking a financial settlement. According to the complaint obtained by Daily Mail, the accuser 'did make the indirect threat that, due to Bond's high-profile status, Bond "better be careful not to catch a case."' Bond's attorneys claimed he asked the woman to leave at that point, only for her to demand $5,000 or face the accusation that he 'assaulted her during their consensual sexual encounter.' Both sides have since agreed to a resolution and the case was dismissed with prejudice. Bond made a name for himself at Texas with his blinding speed and later ran the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine in just 4.39 second. He was expected to be a Day 2 draft pick, with ESPN's Mel Kiper arguing he should go before the third round. But, following the sexual assault claims, Bond went undrafted in April. Now he has a chance to catch on in Cleveland, where the Browns are looking to complement star receiver Jerry Jeudy with a deep threat who can stretch opposing defenses downfield. Of course, head coach Kevin Stefanski is still working to determine which of his five quarterbacks will be under center in Week 1: Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, Brett Hundley, Joe Flacco or Kelly Pickett.

State sends National Guard members to Washington at Trump team's request

West Virginia is sending 300 to 400 members of its National Guard to the US capital to assist in the Trump administration's takeover of the city's police department. The move by a nearby state comes as hundreds of District of Columbia National Guard were activated this week to back up local law enforcement in what the Republican administration calls an effort to crack down on crime and homelessness in the District of Columbia. Advertisement Governor Patrick Morrisey said in a post on Saturday on X that he was deploying '300-400 skilled personnel' from the West Virginia National Guard to support Mr Trump's 'initiative to make DC safe and beautiful'. Mr Morrissey said the step reflects 'our commitment to a strong and secure America'.
