Berlin university says students shouldn’t call police on migrant sex offender: Left-wing ideology may behind the university student committee’s calls to cover-up for a sexual offender with a migration background

A sex offender has been harassing women for weeks at Berlins’s Free University (FU) women for weeks, but victims are being urged not to alert the police over fears of racism. This is the advice of the university’s left-wing-dominated General Students’ Committee (AStA), which urges women not to take matters further in an e-mail sent to all student initiatives and university groups, as reported by the Morgenpost newspaper.

The AStA’s concern, however, seems to be less for the well-being of the women, but rather that of the perpetrator who is reportedly of a migration background.

“We would like to point out that police operations for people affected by racism are generally associated with an increased risk of experiencing police violence,” the Morgenpost quoted from the AStA letter, arguing that most officers are “not sufficiently trained in dealing with psychologically exceptional situations.”

Further, the letter says “Therefore such engagements often ‘by unnecessary use of force are escalated.'” The paper concludes that, “The concern here is obviously less for the potential victim than for the perpetrator.”

For several weeks now, the man in Dahlem near Free University has repeatedly sexually harassed women, threatening them and stalking them. In such a case, the victims should alert the security service of the university or the social psychiatric service, advises the AStA. However, the latter can only apprehend an individual with their consent and thus is an unhelpful suggestion. Despite intervention, the sex offender appears to be resistant to any attempts to change his ways. Apparently there was at least one conversation between students and the alleged sex offender but has shown no willingness to stop harassing women.
