An
18-year-old victim of the sex attacks in Cologne has described being
surrounded by a group of 30 'angry' men who groped her and her friends
then stole their belongings as they fled.
The
teenager, named only as Michelle, appeared on German TV to recount the
harrowing ordeal she endured during the city's New Year's Eve
celebrations last week.
Police
say the wave of attacks - which has so far seen 90 women report being
assaulted - were perpetrated by groups of 'Arab or North African' men in
the city centre.
Michelle's
shocking testimony comes as the city's own council today admitted its
town centre was now a 'no-go area' for women, while it has emerged
similar attacks occurred the same night across Hamburg and Stuttgart.
Alarmingly,
police in Dusseldorf fear the attacks may be linked to a known criminal
gang comprising 2,000 North African men who use sexual assault as a
means of distraction.
And
while German media and authorities stand accused of covering up
previous incidents to avoid stoking tensions, there are fears the
upcoming carnival celebrations in Cologne will see a repeat of the
brazen attacks.
