An 18-year-old woman became pregnant after being raped during the New Year's Eve sex attacks in Cologne, according to new allegations.

The young woman, who has not been named, was held down and raped in the middle of the crowded square outside the city’s main station, according to the claims.

She chose to have the pregnancy terminated.

The allegations emerged in testimony from the head of a local women’s organisation to a regional parliamentary inquiry into the attacks. The alleged victim has not come forward publicly.
