Attendance plummets at Oktoberfest amid fears of refugee sex assaults


The amount of people who attended this year’s Oktoberfest—the world’s largest beer festival in Munich — dropped to its lowest level in 15 years amid growing fears about rampant rapes and other sex crimes often linked to Germany’s burgeoning migrant population. Oktoberfest 2016 had around 5.6 million visitors, which is some 300,000 fewer than last year. However even with heightened security, the number of reported sex crimes increased to 31 cases, according to police reports. In July, a German-Iranian student killed nine people in a Munich shopping mall and then turned the gun on himself. It is reported that there were 1.3 million migrants who arrived in Germany in 2015 and nearly half of them were young males.
