claim girls offer sex to protesters

behaviour just as they break those of politics and law. […]

which she thought was odd. The woman reported this to a security officer at the
mall. That information is all true, but police say more to this story is false.
The woman claimed the officer told her it was part of human trafficking and
that she could have been pulled inside the van. Wichita police say this last
part never happened. […]
