Spanish prosecutors say sexual assaults are occurring almost every day in the North African enclave of Ceuta following a recent surge in arrivals. BBC reports prosecutors describing assaults as happening on an almost daily basis, while the Daily Express similarly characterizes them as occurring on nearly a daily basis.
Both outlets link the allegations to the period after a mass migrant influx into Ceuta. The BBC adds that most migrants have returned to neighbouring Morocco, but that as many as about 5,000 people remain in the Spanish exclave. The Daily Express reports prosecutors also describe a rise in reported cases, including allegations that involve children.
Across the two accounts, the core issue is the prosecutors’ claim of increased frequency of reported sexual assaults in Ceuta after the influx. The differences are mainly in emphasis: the BBC focuses on the broader situation and remaining population, while the Daily Express highlights the extent of reported cases, including those involving minors.
