Meanwhile, Cologne mayor Henriette Rekeryor has caused outrage for comments suggesting women need to be 'better prepared' for such incidents.
Instead of calming fears, she caused more upset with her suggestions on how women should behave to avoid similar incidents like remaining 'within your own group, and asking bystanders to intervene or to help as a witness'.
Speaking on live TV, she said women should be 'more protected in the future so these things don't happen again', Breitbart reported.

However, German media and some public authorities are facing accusations they ignored or covered up simmering problems due to fears it would stoke tensions surrounding the country's immigration policy.
German public broadcaster ZDF has apologised for delays in reporting on the wave of sexual assaults amid accusations of media self-censorship of the inflammatory issue.
The rash of attacks and thefts was only widely covered by national media early this week, after police had initially reported no major incidents.
News editors of ZDF's flagship 'Heute' [Today] evening news programme apologised on social media for not reporting on the incidents at least in its Monday evening bulletin, four days after the attacks.
'The news situation was clear enough. It was a mistake of the 7pm Heute show not to at least report the incidents,' wrote deputy chief editor Elmar Thevessen on the show's Facebook page.
Editors had decided to postpone the news segment to Tuesday, the day Cologne's city hall and police held a crisis meeting on the attacks, he wrote, admitting this was 'a clear misjudgement'.
Meanwhile, Bild, which is the country's biggest selling daily newspaper, has accused officials of ordering a cover-up of the extent of crime carried out by illegal immigrants.
It has published photographs of asylum seekers exchanging money in small packets at the central train station of Frankfurt.
The paper said that all of the officials dealing with the problem had been ordered not to talk about it, as it was a subject which was extremely sensitive and forbidden to be spoken about in an 'offensive manner'.
The reason was to avoid alarming the general public, already concerned about the vast number of asylum seekers being allowed in the country, but also in order to avoid providing material for right-wing extremists.
Former German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich branded it as a cartel of silence and a blackout of news on his Facebook page, adding that they were now seeing the consequences of uncontrolled immigration which 'can no longer be swept under the carpet'.
