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.

1. I can't seem to remember...

Is a 13 year old getting fucked by adult men rape this week, or not?

[mythology]

4. If it happened, of course it's rape

If it didn't happen, then it's a kid who needs some serious help.

5. I can't seem to remember either...

I can't seem to remember either... is the generalized application of the action of few people still an inductive fallacy this week, or not?

[linuxman]

6. I didn't see anyone create a fallacy, except the one

you manufactured on your own and are trying to project onto others for some reason.

Is a grown man fucking a 13 year old rape to you, or not? If not, why?

8. So you are saying THIS girl is just afraid to say anything now or that LEOs made her

recant?

[linuxman]

9. No. Read closer.

She is 13. The men involved are adults. She recanted that the rape was forcible, not that it didn't happen period. Germany has very clear statutory rape laws. https://www.ageofconsent.net/world/germany

She was still raped, like it or not.

10. Okay so you and the title do not agree, like it or not.

Just checking.

[linuxman]

11. When you decide to read farther than the title and discuss the actual incident,

We can talk about it some more.

Until then, maybe tabloids are more your speed.


Wait, this is from the guardian. Nevermind. Keep doing what you're doing, lol.

2. Oh my gosh. I'm at a loss for words... n/t

3. One more Islamophobic fabrication

[pnwmom]

12. self-delete

[linuxman]

13. Shhhh.

You're injecting facts inot the established narrative.

It doesn't matter if she was statutory raped; by mentioning rape and Muslims together, you are implying that all muslims are always raping! Clearly this has never happpened! She wanted it!

If you need a sarcasm tag, you need much more help than it will provide.
