The local newspaper Stuttgarter Nachrichten on its website on 3 January 2016 reported that in the city centre of Stuttgart in the Silvesternacht (New Year's Eve) two 18-year-old women had been sexually assaulted by a group of around fifteen men of about 30–40 years old, black-haired "southern people" with "Arab" looks.

On 5 January, the same website reported that a handful of further purported victims had reported themselves, not specifying how many of them had purportedly been sexually assaulted.
These Stuttgarter incidents were briefly mentioned in international news media as of 5 January in the slipstream of their reporting on the Cologne sexual assaults.
