A MAYOR in a small German town says primary school-aged girls should not “provoke” migrants to avoid being sexually assaulted.

The comments came last week at a city council meeting in the eastern town of Bad Schlema, which has a population of 5500, with about 100 locals showed up to raise concerns about the town’s 85 refugees.

The grandfather of a schoolgirl, aged “under 10”, asked Bad Schlema’s mayor, Jens Muller, what his plans were to prevent sexual assaults on children, who had already been harassed by newly arrived migrants on their way to school.
