In a significant development, a 31-year-old individual has been arrested in Romania on charges of sexual abuse, following an incident at the Rulantica water park in southern Baden, Germany. The suspect is alleged to have targeted a six-year-old girl at the water park, luring her out of the park into a nearby forest where the abuse is said to have occurred.
The young victim was found unharmed approximately two hours later, five kilometers from the pool. The incident took place on August 10, 2025, and the arrest was announced by the Offenburg police headquarters on the evening of August 18, 2025.
The suspect's identification was facilitated through CCTV footage at the water park. Authorities are currently coordinating the extradition process, but technical and legal arrangements between Germany and Romania are yet to be finalised.
