Teenage girl admits making up migrant rape claim that outraged Germany

A 13-year-old Russian-German girl has admitted making up a story about being kidnapped and raped by migrants in a case that triggered a furore in Germany and briefly embroiled Berlin police in a spat with the Kremlin, state prosecutors said.

The parents of the teenager, named only as Lisa, reported her missing on 11 January 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. News of the incident spread on social media, sparking outrage among Berlin’s Russian-German community.

But when she was questioned by trained specialists three days later “she immediately admitted that the story of the rape was not true”, said the spokesman for the state prosecutor, Martin Steltner.

He said the teenager had been scared of going home after the school had contacted her parents over an incident at school.

Yet the allegations caused uproar in Berlin, particularly after reports of mass sexual assaults allegedly carried out by migrants in Cologne. A Russian-German community group staged a protest, supported by the Pegida-related Bärgida movement. The far-right National Democratic party also demonstrated in Marzahn.
The mood was exacerbated by a report on Russian state TV, in which the girl’s relatives claimed her allegations were not being investigated.

The Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, also weighed in to criticise the Berlin authorities. “The news that she disappeared was kept secret for a very long time,” he told a press conference, blaming “political correctness”.

Analysis of the teenager’s mobile phone records showed she had spent the night with a friend, who is not being treated as a suspect.

Her mother told Der Spiegel magazine on Sunday that Lisa was “doing very badly” and was having treatment in a psychiatric ward.

Kind of fake stories of violence made by immigrants and refugees are coming more common. Partly they are spreaded by far-right racists whose try to increase hate against refurees and immigrants.

^Indeed, young girls accusing migrants, happened in Skandinavia as well - luckily the cameras proved that the young girls themselves approached the migrants. Whatever happened to honesty!... Sounded as if her mother was almost making excuses for her daughter. Parents may not be responsible, but at least condemn the deed which harmed innocent migrants...

It's all orchestrated. The powers that be know exactly which buttons to press and when to get the response they want. It's truly awful. It's not right at all but that's the way of the world I guess.

The Mother of Lisa should send out an apology to everyone that has been harassed because of the lies of her daughter.

I wish they would report this in every single newspaper and media option all over Europe for at least a week. The amount of people that have tarred refugees with the same brush is disgusting.

In fact all my local bus stops have been stickered with signs that say refugees not welcome here. How dare they. It should not be allowed. The people who put those stickers up should be made to pay.

Now, should the girl be punished?

She is probably under 18 so will get away scott free no doubt. A detention centre or a public apology would also be fine.

I am sure if under 18s do crazy things they are made to suffer the consequences.

Do you guys think this will be covered in the media?

It´s propably mentioned by few lines on the rear side.

Hm... Seems to me that this girl should learn to be more honest and careful in pointing at people that way. Anyways, she's still less than 18 so may Allah(swt) forgive her and her family. God Bless.
