Germany's The Local reports that a high-ranking police officer has alleged that his seniors tried to strike the word rape from an internal police report after the mass sexual assaults in Cologne over New Year....
While the 52-year-old chief inspector said that he had never in his career experienced an intervention of this nature from the ministry, he was quick to add that he did not believe it was part of a cover-up, even though that is precisely what it appears to have been.
"They didn’t understand what is meant by rape," he suggested.
The government was unsuccessful in its cover up attempt, however, when hundreds of women filed similar complaints in the days and weeks after the attacks with police, alleging that they had been sexually assaulted or robbed by groups of men around Cologne’s central train station.
The superintendent's report corroborates unconfirmed rumors made in the days after the attacks, when allegations were made that the police had sought to cover up the crimes, due to the fact that they appeared to have been committed by men with a migrant background.

Sadly, I suspected that, given the lack of convincing response from police on the night, this is how it would play out.http://jezebel.com/the-controversial-reports-of-as...
Germany also has weird/antiquated laws when it comes to sexual assault in public.

Several German news sites have English sections and all will give a better insight into the country than,for example, Fox News.
I don't read the German media to find out what is happening in Britain. Why should anybody read British / US media to learn about Germany?
