Rape Cases Have Skyrocketed Across Europe Since 2000 — But One Country Stands Apart
“They are allowing the rape of Europe because the people in charge sold their own countries out. They tore down borders, let chaos pour in, and told their citizens to shut up and take it.”
Radio Europe published a comparison of reported rape cases in four European countries between 2000 and 2023. In England and Wales, reports surged from 8,593 in 2000 to 68,109 in 2023 — a nearly seven-fold increase. In Germany, the number rose from 8,133 to 39,029, an almost fourfold rise. France also saw a dramatic escalation, with reports jumping nearly fivefold from 7,500 to 42,400.
Poland, however, bucked the trend. Reported rapes fell from 2,399 in 2000 to 1,127 in 2023.
[Although the exact figures vary slightly depending on the data source, Radio Europe’s numbers are consistent with other reports.]
Why are they allowing the rape of Europe? https://t.co/IJnBFMx2mD

As right-wing commentator Ian Miles Cheong asked when he reposted the statistics, what happened during those years? We’ll return to Cheong in a moment.
According to the International Journal of Law, Crime, and Justice, the steep increase in the number of rape cases being reported is because many European Union countries have replaced “coercion-based rape laws which require proof of force, with consent-based laws which define rape as any sex without explicit consent.” The report notes that by May 2023, 20 European nations had adopted consent-based rape laws.
European statistics website Eurostat attributes the increase to raised awareness of rape in society. There is less of a social stigma in reporting sexual assaults than there used to be.
Others cite an improvement in police record keeping practices.
While each of the above may well be contributing factors, they tend to sidestep what Cheong was driving at — the proverbial elephant in the room. His point is straightforward: the dramatic rise in reported rape cases across Europe coincided with the period when many European governments made the decision to open up their borders. One does not need to be a rocket scientist to see the correlation between these two developments. By focusing solely on secondary explanations, critics risk overlooking the broader context that Cheong sought to highlight.
The following reply to Cheong’s post drives the point home with striking clarity.
They are allowing the rape of Europe because the people in charge sold their own countries out. They tore down borders, let chaos pour in, and told their citizens to shut up and take it. They protected ideology instead of women. They defended feelings instead of families. They…

The rest of this reply reads:
They let criminals walk while they smeared anyone who dared to speak truth as a bigot.
This is not an accident. It is not some tragic coincidence. It is the direct result of cowardice and corruption dressed up as progress. Europe is not being destroyed by chance. It is being destroyed by design. The same is happening in America, and if we do not stand up and stop it, we will look exactly like Europe in the next five years.
What really stood out to me in digging into this topic was not what I found, but what I didn’t find. There was a striking absence of reliable and/or up-to-date information. There appears to be a reticence among both members of the European media and government affiliated organizations to address this subject head on.
When I asked ChatGPT why the number of reported rapes of European women skyrocketed over the past 20 years, it responded:
That’s a very sensitive and complex question. I want to handle it carefully and responsibly.
The reported rise in rape and sexual assault cases in many European countries over the past two decades has multiple explanations. It is not accurate or responsible to reduce it to a single cause. Here are the main factors scholars, NGOs, and justice ministries point to:
1. Greater Reporting, Not Just Greater Incidence
2. Legal and Statistical Changes
3. Social and Cultural Shifts
4. Demographic and Urban Trends
5. Persistent ChallengesIn summary: The “skyrocketing” in statistics largely reflects greater awareness, changing laws, and improved reporting, not simply that vastly more rapes are occurring than before. The phenomenon is complex and cannot be pinned on one factor.
ChatGPT sounds remarkably like the British government.
How would AI explain Poland’s ability to cut the number of rape cases in half while the rates in neighboring countries soared? According to ChatGPT, numbers are low in Poland due to “differences in reporting practices, legal definitions and recording practices, and conservative cultural and religious climate.”
More accurately, it’s because Poland has confronted its border crisis. When illegal immigrants began pouring into the country in 2021, the government cracked down, and within months, illegal border crossings had fallen by more than 80%.
As I see it, the figures released by Radio Europe expose a crisis that Europe’s leaders seem determined to ignore. The steady escalation in reported sexual violence cannot simply be brushed aside as a statistical anomaly or explained away with trite explanations. It represents a profound challenge to public safety, social trust, and the basic rights of women across the continent.
Yet too often, political leaders respond with deflection, minimizing, or silence. Until governments confront the scale of the problem honestly, the gap between official rhetoric and lived reality will only grow wider, leaving citizens to wonder whether those in power are willing, or even able, to protect them.
I would like to help fund legal actions against corrupt officials who aided and abetted the rape of Britain, per the official government inquiry.

It’s not rape, it’s a “mostly consensual intimate encounter”. Or something like that. Whatever.
Besides: I have been informed by the Very Best And Brightest (TM) that no “migrant” has ever committed any crime anywhere anytime. ALL criminal actions are done by White Nationalists, which for some odd reason no one has actually seen.
I’m a white nationalist. And proud of it.
Is that like the left’s “minor attracted person” being used to replace pedophile?
Nice of them to have pleasant sounding names for egregious acts, like “gender affirming care” for “prepubescent genital butchery.”
I guess these rapes will be described as “non conforming, anti-Muslim encounters” or some such rot. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and rapes like a Pakistani mob, it’s a rapist Pakistani mob.
The UK police knowingly allowed muslims to rape young children.
At times, the young girls would get arrested, instead of the rapist.
This month, a man was arrested in the UK for saying “long live Israel.”
Has the UK reached the point of no return?
I think the UK has reached the point of no return unless the people do something extreme. I’ll put it bluntly: time to stop talking and start shooting. In other words, civil war. The people of the UK have been sold out by their politicians and upper classes. It’s money not compassion for migrants. Most likely Arab money. They have lots of it and politicians are for sale. We have the same problem, how do our pols get so rich they can afford multiple mansions? How come Pelosi is better at investing than Warren Buffet? How does Bernie Sanders get so rich he has multiple homes? A man with no skills who failed at everything but politics. When I was a radar engineer he was living in a sugar shack in Vermont. No utilities. A dirt floor.
Obama too. Another one multiple mega mansions on very expensive real estate. Where has he shot hot in his chosen profession. Never wrote a law review article. Never tried a case. Somehow he got fabulously wealthy. Follow the money. It explains everything both here and in Europe.
Ha ha! You got me!
I know Bernie lived in a commune once (and got kicked out for sloth).
But you probably LITERALLY meant “a Vermont sugar shack.”
rope .. lamppost .. raper ….

Harris never passed any bar exam legitimately.
The sun has finally set on the British Empire, aided and abetted by their fop of a king.
Unfortunately when that question is asked that point has usually long past, Almost fitting it is recognized when Charles is king.
See the story downstairs about the potential sexual assault in Scotland.
It’s all carefully worked around the obvious problem.
Maybe in England reporting in 2000 was snuffed out so numbers could be very equal. Tens of thousands young girls caught by Muslim gangs seem to have been unreported.
Muslim rapists should have the offending parts removed.
Muslims should be removed.
Indeed. Gang rapes and honor killings ought to be enough, but the takeover of everything from roads to airplane aisles for “praying” Muslims, instead of perfectly good mosques, is reason enough.
“ChatGPT sounds remarkably like the British government.”
Just reading the first sentence of the reply told me I was about to be served a heaping helping of gaslighting bulls*t. You can just SMELL that HR caringness and outright refusal to state inconvenient truths that you already knew anyway.
“One country stands apart”
And I got it in one.
25 years ago, it was popular among my crowd to research places to bug out, should the US become intolerable. Popular choices were Costa Rica, Australia, and New Zealand. In just 25 years, the latter two “wroked” themselves into total intolerability, while the former bloated with expats and inflated its cost of living.
Now, if I were to do the same exercise, I’d pick Poland… despite my total ineptitude with even easy languages. I could probably survive with a modest import/export business… exporting high-value consonants to the American Scrabble market, and importing vowels for the benefit of all Poland.
Obviously, you’ve read “Vowels for Bosnia.”
Nope. I HAVE read “Pancakes for Paris,” though. It was in third grade. Phrases from it still haunt me.
Conversion to pig crap, a fitting end.
Lots of people in Poland speak English. I was in Warsaw looking to find the bus to my hotel. The first two people didn’t understand me. The third? “Oh, yeah, I used to live at 31st and Archer in Chicago.”
Which, for those of you not familiar with Chicago, is one of the neighborhoods that makes Chicago the city with the largest Polish-heritage city second only to Warsaw.
I was in Chicago on business in the 70s. I took a long walk and ended up in some place where the news stands had papers in Polish. BTW, Chicago was relatively safe in the mid 70s.
Just got back from Warsaw and Kraków all you need is English and so very basic polish and your good.
Muslims plain and simple and the police and officials that won’t name them, won’t arrest then, won’t prosecute them. and allow them to rape with impunity. Disgusting and disgraceful,
In fairness I saw a stat in passing recently (wish I could remember from where) that revealed the largest cohort is Pakistani which account for something over 80% of the total. For whatever reason the British Govt and local Govt seem determined not to notice and call out the problem. Probably b/c that would undermine the narrative of ‘inclusion’ as well as revel the complacency and indifference of both Labor and Tory leadership alike to the underlying problem; mass immigration without any stringent efforts much less requirements to assimilate. The globalists have much to answer for and this is absolutely one of those things.
“seem determined not to notice and call out the problem”
Even going so far as to resort to a Rand-McTechnicality and publicly classifying them as “Asians.”
That, of course, is Great Britain’s own preference. They concentrated on importing Pakistanis and Indians, as we concentrated on importing Somalis and Central Americans.
Every single rape gang story I see is centered around Pakis.
No one is going to answer for any of these rapes in Europe. No one. The entire manhood of Europe has been gelded. I’m afraid when it starts in this country we’ll have some of the same but only some as long as Americans remained armed.
Rape statistics don’t mean anything. They might just reflect a vast #MeToo movement in Europe, basically casting couch and transactional sex with bosses that the lady later changed her mind on.
Somebody has to come up with a meaningful term for what used to be called rape.

Eurostat seems not to have heard of Occam’s Razor.
Concerning ChatGPT’s reply, isn’t “uncontrolled illegal immigration” an inherent part of the last three reasons?
lefty changes the words to suit their needs
I’m pretty sure I’d own a very large pig farm if I lived in the UK right now. IYKYK.
I’d also have a dozen of those 14 year old WIlliam Wallace girls running errands for me.
A van … I’d definitely need a van. No windows. Lots of bleach.
This is where the UK government adds insult to injury. They’re not only waging war against free speech (and white women), they’re also waging war against farmers, to particularly include livestock farming. It is becoming really, really difficult to make it as a farmer in the UK today.
Since the pig feed is free, I ought to do pretty well.
I understand chickens thrive on protein as well.
which BTW -Oh SHIT…. now we REALLY know why Leslie who lives in Ca keeps chickens.
Chickens eat plenty of things, but they don’t eat much of it. If destroying 3% of the evidence is cool with you, chickens are your thing.
Peroxide. Same capabilities, none of the telltale odor.
peroxide…no smell … no damage .. destroys DNA
cleans just as good as bleach
Yeah, used to use it in the lab; at 30%, it burns like acid. It would be great for disinfecting society.
You are all hired as farm hands. How are you at moving barrels?
Bales more my speed, sorry. And I’ve been spoiled by Sudan Grass.
LOL.
ChatGPT is a leftist propaganda bot. In fact, there has been LESS reporting! That’s what this whole thing in the UK is about – them allowing the Pakistani rape gangs they’ve imported, as if they’re going out of style, to run free (arresting the victims and the victims’ parents!) raping their way around Britain – targeting very young British girls.
The fact is that the numbers are far worse. So many rapes aren’t reported and even among those that are so many Eurotrash governments are abetting the muslim rapists and refuse to do anything about them or even include them in reports.
If a tree is raped by muslims in the forest and the authorities pretend it never happened .,..
I’ve always wondered if U.K. rape statistics are fudged the same way murder/homicide statistics are.
To whit: A murder isn’t a “murder” until the case is solved and someone is convicted. Until there’s a conviction, it’s classed as a “suspicious death”. And even if they get a conviction, it’s counted in that year, not the year the murder actually occurred.
So all they have to do to keep numbers low is … not seriously investigate “suspicious deaths”. No convictions = No homicides.
So are sexual assaults treated the same, and it’s not a “rape” until someone is convicted for it? Until then, is it classified as something else? (“Suspicious sexual activity”, maybe?)
And all they have to do to keep the numbers down is … not investigate the reports?
It could be an alternate and/or additional explanation why TPTB in the U.K. were so hesitant to dig into multiple decades’ worth of reports of grooming and rape gangs in the migrant-controlled towns.
Just a thought….
“They are allowing the rape of Europe because the people in charge sold their own countries out. They tore down borders, let chaos pour in, and told their
citizenssubjects to shut up and take it.”FIxed it.
Time to take the gloves off. Take them down and don’t hang around.
I recall reading, a year or so ago, some crime & ethnicity data from Denmark showing the convictions ethnicity as a percentage of that ethnic group normalized to Danish criminal convictions as 1. Sure enough the Muslim countries sported many multiples higher than the Danish norm indicating rather alarming prevalence of crime amongst these groups people. For the record, Americans rated, in normalized prevalence, somewhat below the native Danes, I think the Europeans know what the problem is, they just can’t seem to bring them to admit it. The basic problem is that the premise behind unlimited immigration is wrong – not all ethnicity have the same way of thinking or moral code. Then if one accepts groups w/o values assimilation, trouble will abound.
They’ve thrown away the Melting Pot and replaced it with a Snake Pit.
…. into which the indigenous population will increasingly be thrown over time as differential birth rates turn ever more power over to the invaders. IMO when you are dealing with a culture whose time line is centuries, bet against the one whose time line is the next election.
I’ll say it out loud, trying to live with Muslims is like opening the gorilla cages in all zoos and allowing the gorillias to live among us. We are not compatible with Islam! Period! Freedom of speech and religion does not include Islam. It’s like saying all organic things a wonderful but forgetting cancer is organic. They have RUINED ever country they have settled in. The Somalis have turned Minneaplois into a shithole of America. They are truly the missing link of the simian race.
We’re not compatible with dramacrats and their socialist values either. Unfortunately many haven’t figured that out yet and never will.
Insane that an article like this can be written without mentioning islam.
The rape epidemic in Europe is 100% the result of allowing massive numbers of Muslim migrants in.
If you want to fix a problem, shine a light on it. If you are too mych of a coward to even mention what the problem is, then you are part of the problem. Nothing will be done because you’ve enabled everyone to pretend that the issue is something other than what it actually is.
Some 20 years ago I predicted that in one generation there won’t be an England as we know it. The current crop of communist morons in parliament has proved that. Here is a short retelling of the current situation.
The English have had enough of being ignored by the ‘Conservatives’ in Parliament. They were basically socialists but no matter how much they simpped to the progressive loons they were always hated by the media and the progressives. They tried to please everyone and ended up being hated by everyone.
So what did the STUPID ENGLISH DO?? They elected the COMMUNISTS from Labour who don’t even pretend to care about the will of the people. So they lock up people because of a tweet but let child rapists go free because they might be called a hurty name!!! What cowards!
They imprisoned people for their outrage for the murder of little girls but let a Labour MP who called for the murder of people that disagree with the government GO FREE!
It’s not two tier justice. It’s actually NO JUSTICE!,
Now the Labour communists arrest a woman for silently praying and arrest patriots for waving the ENGLISH FLAG. While they allow their streets to be covered with Palestinian and Homo flags and allow large Muslim prayer demonstrations in London . They are too afraid to take them down or arrest the ‘Muslim prayer protesters’. This is simple cowardice.
What in the name of all that’s holy did you expect???
But the STUPID English have “suicidal empathy” and will die rather than be rude or be called a hurty name.
“The English have had enough of being ignored by the ‘Conservatives’ in Parliament. They were basically socialists…
So what did the STUPID ENGLISH DO?? They elected the COMMUNISTS from Labour”
See, here in the US I would understand that, because there are never any viable third choices.
In Germany, there IS a better choice — one boycotted by every other politician in Germany despite having 30% popularity, and always on the verge of being officially banned (because they can do that there).
So I’d be more interested hearing who the better choice in England would have been.
Leftists destroy, or are accessories to destroying, everything they touch, and they REALLY like to touch children.
What changed? Muslim immigrants.
It’s past time to start returning them to their homeland.
Leftists are the death of UK, Europe and the West
Look at that photo. All military aged young men allowed to pour in, with no female counterparts, and at the bottom of the socioeconomic spectrum. Debbie won’t date them. What would any reasonable intellect predict? Same thing is happening in the USA.
