After Provoking Outrage, German Teenager Admits to Making False Rape Allegations Against Migrants
LatestIn mid-January, protests erupted in Berlin after a 13-year-old German-Russian girl claimed that migrants of either Middle Eastern or North African origin had kidnapped and raped her. But now she admits that her allegations are false.
According to The Guardian, a teenage girl known as “Lisa” disappeared on January 11, 2016. Her parents “reported her missing…after she failed to appear at school in the Marzahn district of the capital. She reappeared 30 hours later with injuries on her face, and told her parents she had been attacked by men of Middle Eastern or North African appearance.” The story traveled quickly across social media; members of the Russian-German community organized a demonstration. The far-right National Democratic Party staged its own protest as well.
