This map shows the vile attacks happening across the country with many gang rapes, sex attacks in schools and assaults on children and adults blamed on refugees and migrants. Express.co.uk can reveal details of nearly 20 horrifying incidents which took place in January alone. The incidents involve young boys and girls, as well as adults being held down, groped, flashed, raped and claimed as a migrant’s property. Many more shocking attacks throughout last year can also be revealed. The country's police force admitted it is struggling to deal with the sheer number of incidents being reported, as well as the strain refugees centres are putting on officers. Officers have dedicated huge resources to tackle the Moroccan migrants in the country in 2016 as girls reported being sexually assaulted by them on a regular basis.

And communities across Sweden have been rocked by a new wave of violence seeing women also brutally attacked. On January 25 Alexandra Mezher, 22, was stabbed to death in a children’s refugee centre in Mölndal, just 30 minutes before she was due to finish her shift.
