Three Moroccan nationals who arrived in Ceuta during the recent mass crossing from Morocco have been arrested over their alleged involvement in sexual assault offences, against a backdrop of courts and law-enforcement agencies investigating several complaints filed since the end of July. The alleged victims are also migrants.

The arrests come after several underage Moroccan girls reported having been sexually assaulted after crossing the border and staying in the autonomous Spanish city.

By 11 August, the National Police had recorded six complaints lodged by minors, the force confirmed to the maldita.es news portal.
