The fifteenfold (x15) increase is attributed by the source to Ceuta's 112 emergency-service data for August 2026 only — a single crisis month — and not to the prosecutor of Ceuta, who is the source only for the 'almost one sexual assault per day' figure.
The prosecutor's office figures concern sexual assaults (reported as 16, then 23, then 35 complaints during the migration crisis), a different metric from the general 'assaults' counted by 112; the two are conflated in the claim.
Only a single independent secondary source (moncloa.com) was found that explicitly states the 'fifteen times more' multiplier; no primary official source (Fiscalía, Interior Ministry, 112) was located to corroborate the exact multiplier.
The claim bundles several dramatic statistics (burglaries x60, assaults x15, daily sexual assault) each drawn from different sources and reference periods, which can create a misleading cumulative impression.
