BOSSES at a German waterpark are to segregate men and women following two horrific sex attacks.

Men and teenage boys will be banned from using the waterslides at certain times when only women, girls and very young boys will be allowed access.

It follows the confirmation earlier this week that police had arrested two asylum seekers from Afghanistan for a sex attack on two girls on the slides at the Arriba waterpark and swimming pool in Norderstedt, in northern Germany.

The girls aged 14 and 18 had been using the waterslides but their attackers, both from Afghanistan and aged 14 and 34, had been waiting for them at the bottom and had then sexually assaulted them.

Segregated: The waterpark has had a number of incidents

The accused are being kept in custody as prosecutors said that the degree of the sexual assault was so severe that it justified rape charges.

Before that the adventure fun park was at the centre of similar problems last summer when four teenagers aged 15 and the fifth aged 17 had also been molested on the slides by a group of asylum seekers.

Seven boys had blocked the slide with their rubber rings and then started groping the girls on the breasts and had been putting their hands between their legs.

At the time, Arriba boss Ruud Swaen, 55, said he regretted what had happened and added: ‘We will be doing everything to make sure something like this doesn’t happen in the future.’

Fears: Previous measure failed to stop further attacks

But those measures did not stop the attack in February on the two teenagers, although the waterpark is still not going as far as banning asylum seekers.

Instead they have pledged to have the segregation of women and men on the slides at certain times, as well as further security cameras on top of the 48 already being used.

They have also hired 'plainclothes’ security officials, dressed in swimwear to look like other visitors, who will be on patrol swimming in the pools and using the slides.
