Bikini-clad women patrol swimming pools to STOP wave of horror migrant sex attacks
SEVERAL bikini-clad women dubbed the 'Groping Guards' are patrolling swimming pools in a desperate bid to stop sex attacks by migrants.
The Swedish women are working to halt the wave of migrant sex attacks
The vigilante group formed in Kalmar, Sweden after five women reported being groped by asylum seekers at the town's leisure centre.
A further 15 said they were attacked in the city while celebrating New Year's Eve – echoing horrific scenes in Cologne, Germany.
Some 34 asylum centres have opened in Kalmar to accommodate 6,000 new arrivals, with more expected to be built this year.
Most of the victims don't report it to the police
Siri Bernhardsson, one of the group's members, said: "Most of the victims feel ashamed and don't report it to the police.
"We know that there have been attacks in our swimming pool that have not been reported.
"They have been forced to separate men from women in the jacuzzis because of all the attacks. That should not happen in 2016 in Sweden."

Kalmar Police spokesman Ulf Karlsson said: "Last year we had a few incidents in the jacuzzi and a couple in the swimming pools.
"But when you talk about these kind of crimes there are always a lot of incidents that go unrecorded.
"The ones who have been attacked might feel ashamed and keep what has happened to themselves."

Another guard, Ella Sjoberg, told the MailOnline: "When I was 16 and went to the swimming pool, you could see creepy old men staring.
"But for a 16-year-old girl today it is different. Groups of boys charge them into corners which is totally disrespectful and must terrify them.
"Everyone knows that these attacks started after a lot of immigrants came to Sweden and everyone knows who the perpetrators are."
