Reports of a mass sexual assault by refugees in Frankfurt on New Years Eve were fabricated according to German police.
The right-wing newspaper Bild reported last week that 900 drunk refugees had been involved in the mass sex attack and quoted a number of witnesses and victims' testimony.
“I can be happy that I wore sheer tights. They [the migrants] grabbed me under the skirt, between my legs, my breasts, everywhere," one alleged victim, Irina, was quoted as saying.
Another witness, a local pub owner, said that his pub had been "full with a group of around 50 Arabs."
"They did not speak German, drank our guests’ drink and danced towards them. The women asked me for help because they were being attacked. The mood changed completely.”

Some of those reports, I did wonder about.
