Ceuta Launches Plan to Move 500 Migrant Girls as 15 Rapes Hit Minors

Summary
Six temporary sites are opening in Ceuta to pull about 500 migrant girls off the streets after repeated sexual assaults near the enclave’s reception centre; 96 spent the previous night in a new facility.
15 rape cases had been confirmed by 15 August after the 30–31 July mass crossing, with police unions saying most victims were minors and attacks occurred mainly in wooded areas around Jaral.
National Police said 11 complaints came from Moroccan minors and that both victims and suspects were Moroccan irregular migrants who arrived during the influx; two suspects have been arrested.
More than 350 girls are already inside the protection system, and officials expect total sheltered to exceed 800 as authorities decide whether to repatriate or transfer minors to mainland Spain.
The wider scale remains disputed: Interior says more than 2,000 underage migrants have been identified since 30 July, Ceuta is sheltering 1,372, and NGOs estimate thousands more remain outside formal care.
