Woman's excuse after falsely accusing man of attempted rape and kidnap
A 20-year-old Pennsylvania woman gave a shocking excuse for the reason she falsely accused a man of attempting to kidnap and rape her.
A Pennsylvania woman said she falsely accused an innocent man she never met of trying to rape and kidnap her all because he looked 'creepy'.
Anjela Borisova Urumova, 20, pleaded guilty on Thursday to filing a false police report against 41-year-old Daniel Pierson, whom she accused of attempting to kidnap and rape her.
Pierson was held on a $1 million bail, charged with multiple felonies and spent a month in jail as a result of the false claims.
According to the Bucks County District Attorney's Office, Urumova alleged that on April 16, 2024, Pierson attacked her outside of a supermarket.
She claimed that he had pulled her pants down and struck her in the face.
'As part of the investigation, Middletown Township Police collected and reviewed available surveillance videos from multiple retailers in the area of the reported attack, and a detective with the Bucks County District Attorney's Office conducted a forensic review of Urumova's cellphone data,' the DA's office said in a release.
'The review led to the discovery of multiple inconsistencies and contradictory information with Urumova's account of the attack.'
Urumova was confronted by authorities and 'admitted she lied about the entire incident', confirming she hadn't been attacked by anyone, prosecutors said.
Urumova pleaded guilty to seven misdemeanor charges: one count each of false alarm to an agency of public safety and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, two counts of false reports, and three counts of unsworn falsification to authorities.
The charges against Pierson were dropped, and he was freed.
Common Pleas Judge Stephen Corr deferred sentencing so she can undergo a pre-sentence investigation.
