Jessica Smith charged with making false report of rape, abduction

NORTON — Police arrested a 32-year-old woman they said made up a horrifying story of abduction and rape.

Jessica Smith of Doylestown in Wayne County told Norton police that a man abducted her at gunpoint from a gas station on April 9, took her to Akron and raped her for four days before releasing her. But police said after spending many hours investigating the story, they determined it never happened.

Smith was arraigned Wednesday before Barberton Municipal Judge Greg Macko on one count of making false alarms. If convicted, she faces up to one year in prison.

Police spent about 100 hours investigating her claims before concluding the story was made up. They were called to the emergency room at Akron City Hospital on April 12.

"My partner and I were taken off the numerous cases we were working on and spent 100 hours on this," said Norton Detective John Canterbury. "She was very specific about the time and place of the abduction. We reviewed the surveillance video from the gas station, which has an excellent system, and she never appeared at the time she said she was there. Just in case she was mistaken about the day, we looked at two days' worth. She never appeared."

Canterbury said Smith let a man borrow her boyfriend's car while her boyfriend was out of town. When the car was returned damaged, Canterbury said she concocted the story to cover it up.

Canterbury said when confronted, Smith admitted that she made up the abduction, but insists that the man who borrowed the car raped her in Akron. Canterbury said she had not reported the rape to Akron.

Her attorney, Charles Olminsky, declined to comment on the case.

( male )Victim Of False Rape Claim Eligible For Monetary Compensation

'A man falsely accused of rape has been told he has grounds for compensation.

A tribunal in Taunton ruled Clive Bishop, of Walton, Somerset, can apply for compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

In 2007, Mr Bishop was falsely accused of rape by a woman who made up the allegation. She was given a 10-month prison sentence as a result.'

"gave up the allegation" is the U.K.
euphemism for "caught in a lie".

"Recanted" is the U.S. version.

Recant: Funk & Wagnalls 1.To withdraw formally one's belief in (something previously believed or maintained). 2 To disavow an opinion or belief previously held.

It's nice to have the word "lie" and "Liar" so sanitized...almost like you really didn't do anythig wrong...

who benefits from the mass hysteria produced from false rape acussation, after false rape acussation???

Where are American academics as this phenomena sweeps the U.S.?? They are walking around their universities on eggshells trying not to disturb their gender feminist bosses.

They're walking around on eggs hoping not to be falsely accused themselves....

American academics have been effectively shanghai'd by the feminist party line.

I have a son enrolled at an Ivy League university. A guy smart enough to be accepted into that school is smart enough to question what the hell is going on there.

Unfortunately, he's also smart enough to know you can't bail water from the Titanic with a spoon...

...ever seen the stats on how man men survived the Titanic?

Anon, thanks for the link. It's now a post.

Sgt. Mom,

It's all, to my mind, how we have the "Women don't lie about rape" mantra. By using these words, they are technically correct. Too bad there are more and more people such as yourself, and many of our regulars who know B.S. when they smell it.

And for the academics, for the ones who don't have tenure, they are trying to keep their noses clean until they do. Then, you can't get rid of them. Of course, they then just go along so as to not make waves. So much for 'education'. If you only get one side to something, it's indoctrination, not education.

You are welcome Archivist. I am still trying to work out issues I am having with my AKO account ( grrr). After I get them worked out, I can email reports. Speaking of reports, I have a report of a teacher here in Tennessee who had sex with her students. She is claiming that one of them raped her. The student claims she wanted to have sexwith him. I should mention there is no record of a rape incident filed by the teacher.
