Teen lied / faked attack over headscarf; has been criminally charged

[Anonymous]

Like so many other alleged incidents since the President's inauguration, this incident was faked, fabricated; a hoax. Police in northern Virginia say a girl has been charged after she lied to police, falsely reporting that she had been held at knifepoint by a man who ripped off her headscarf.

Prince William County police said in a statement Tuesday that further investigation into the girl’s report revealed “no altercation had occurred.”

Police initially said the girl reported being confronted by a man who cursed at her, displayed a small knife and placed it against her arms as he called her a “terrorist.” The girl also falsely reported that the man removed her headscarf and covered her mouth to muffle her screams before fleeing.

Good. These false reports only flame more anger and divisiveness. They need to be prosecuted.

Well, it could've happened though. Totally conceivable.

So I could have been raped today so it's okay to tell the police that I was?

SMH.

I saw the story on the news after it happened and it reminded me of the other fake story from New York. Glad this one was also proven to false.

What in the world? Do people really think this way? It’s okay to report a crime and waste resources having the cops investigate simply because it ‘could have happened’??

I agree completely. False reports are so dangerous.

We had someone in MoCo calling in threats to synagogues last year. Led to a ton of fear. We had two families leave our Jewish preschool because they were nervous. Turns out it was actually an Israeli Jewish kid. Obviously disturbed but not the same as what people feared.

I'm glad it didn't happen and I'm also glad that she was charged.

You are a nutjob.

They should charge those who make false rape accusations too.
