Spanish National Police officers and the majority union Jupol are sounding the alarm over a horrific pattern in the North African enclave of Ceuta: illegal Moroccan migrants, including unaccompanied minors and undocumented adults, are kidnapping girls and dragging them into the surrounding mountains to subject them to gang rape.

According to agents on the ground and local residents, the attackers operate with near-impunity around the Temporary Stay Centre for Immigrants (CETI) and the irregular settlements that have taken root on the hillsides.

Victims are overwhelmingly girls and adolescents — some local, but most are Moroccan or Sub-Saharan. The assaults are reportedly happening in the rugged terrain that is hard to police.

Jupol spokeswoman Laura García stated that far more of these attacks occur than ever reach official records. Survivors are too terrified to report. The number of formal complaints already exceeds the number of arrests. “Hoy hay violadores y pederastas sueltos por Ceuta,” García said — today there are rapists and pedophiles loose in Ceuta.

One recent case illustrates the chaos. Last Thursday a minor was subjected to a multiple assault by several Moroccan men on Avenida de Lisboa, one of the city’s main arteries.

Neighbours raised the alarm and only one attacker was caught; the rest fled and remain unidentified. The same day a young Sub-Saharan woman walked into the Superior Police Headquarters to report a similar group attack by Moroccan-origin perpetrators.

Officers say these incidents are not isolated. They are repeating daily.

Around thirty Moroccan girls, some as young as ten, have been observed sheltering under police vehicles out of pure fear of the men occupying the nearby slopes.

García has repeatedly described how groups of women and girls stay glued to police vans near the CETI because the moment they separate they risk sexual assault.

Meanwhile Equality Minister Ana Redondo, speaking from a “purple point” far away in Valladolid, insisted the minors “do not wander around but are in safe spaces and receive care.”

The gap between official messaging and the reality reported by police, doctors and residents could not be wider.

This latest police testimony lands on top of an already catastrophic picture that has been unfolding since the late-July mass crossing.

An estimated 70,000-plus migrants poured into a city of roughly 84,000. Reception centres collapsed. Thousands of young men remained after many others were pushed back.

Beaches turned into open-air camps of shacks, garbage, food waste, urine and human faeces. Children’s parks were left smeared in shit.

Hospitals reported surges in scabies, tuberculosis and impetigo. A doctor warned of a health catastrophe.

Civil Guard sources have confirmed at least 15 sexual assaults since the invasion.

Women have been packing up and leaving. Mothers have broken down on live television describing the daily terror for their teenage daughters.

One said her 16-year-old can no longer go anywhere without a parent because “the migrants devour her.” Sisters Yoli and María José removed their daughters from the city, declaring they feel humiliated and abandoned while Pedro Sánchez holidayed elsewhere.

Residents have now set up their own women’s protection camp because the state has failed to keep them safe.

Into this nightmare has stepped the self-styled “Barbie Gaza,” Ana Alcalde, a Free Palestine activist and NGO-adjacent influencer who lives in Ceuta.

She is married to a local police officer, and has six children. She has been filming herself walking past groups of migrants, dressed provocatively, claiming the streets are completely safe and dismissing fearful locals as xenophobic.

The footage, however, shows her moving quickly, avoiding eye contact, while insisting everything is fine.

She has been filmed arriving in a high-end Audi to hand out sandwiches to the illegal arrivals.

A local Ceuta woman confronted her on camera and did not hold back. “It is very easy to come here and hand out sandwiches in an Audi with a police husband,” the resident said. “I don’t care about Palestine, I care about my family.”

The pattern is by now familiar across Europe: mass illegal entries, government denial, media minimisation, activist performance, and ordinary women and girls left to fend for themselves. In Ceuta the mountains themselves have become hunting grounds.

Police unions are stating what the political class refuses to say out loud. Rapists and pedophiles are walking free. Girls are being taken. And the people who live there are paying the price for an open-border agenda that prioritises the comfort of invaders and the virtue-signalling of outsiders over the safety of Spanish families.
