Excerpt:
German police are increasingly having to deal with rumours that they are covering up sex crimes committed by refugees, but public trust in law enforcement is holding firm.
In Berlin police have denied a story spread on social media that a 13-year-old girl was abducted and raped by refugees and that police subsequently tried to cover the incident up.
A Russian television channel reported that the girl was taken into sexual captivity for days and that police had tried to suppress it from going public. The report then spread quickly through German social media.
