Teenager faked kidnap and rape allegations against migrants
The shocking revelation had quickly made the rounds on social media, sparking unrest and outrage among Berlin’s Russian-German community.
The 13-yr-old identified as Lisa F, had earlier revealed to the police that she had been taken from a suburb in east Berlin, and had been held as a prisoner for 30 hours by 'foreign-looking men' who had also raped her during her captivity.
The Guardian reports that her parents had reported her missing on January 11, after she had not shown up at her school located in the Marzahn district of the capital.
Lisa had returned 30 hours later with bruises, convincing her parents that she had been grabbed by men whom she described to be of middle Eastern or North African origin.
Fortunately, following an interrogation session with trained specialists 3 days after she had returned home, Lisa had caved, admitting that her story had not been true.
The spokesman for the state prosecutor, Martin Steltner, revealed that the teen had been afraid to go home after her school had contacted her parents over an incident which had taken place earlier.
Further investigations had revealed that Lisa had spent the night with a friend as proved by her phone records although the said friend is not being held as a suspect in the case.
Lisa's mum, during an interview with Der Spiegel magazine on Sunday, January 30, revealed that the 13-yr-old was “doing very badly” and was now receiving treatment in a psychiatric ward at an undisclosed instituition.
