Only Two Men Convicted After 1,200 Sexual Assaults In Cologne (HBO)

Heavy security is expected in Cologne during this year’s New Year’s celebrations, following last year’s multiple assaults on mainly women celebrating in front of the cathedral and the station. The 2015/2016 New Year’s Eve celebrations in several German cities were rocked by a wave of sex attacks and assaults. The worst were centred on Cologne. It’s estimated up to 1200 women were assaulted and 2000 men were involved. Milene Larsson travels to Cologne to speak to victims and the authorities, to try and find out what really happened, and why some events weren’t made public for days.
