Two days in jail, and $8K in restitution. At least no one, other than her, was arrested. However, two days seems an insignificant amount of jail time for this.
Nicole Ann Pedersen's false cry gets 2 days in jail
An Aurora-area woman was sentenced on Jan. 8 in Linn Circuit Court to two days in jail and 36 months probation, as well as over $8,000 in restitution, following a conviction for initiating a false police report.
Nicole Ann Pedersen, 28, was charged with initiating a false police report, a class A misdemeanor, after multiple agencies investigated a report she was kidnapped and sexually assaulted over a three-day period last summer.
According to Oregon State Police Lt. Terri Davie, Pedersen went to the Albany General Hospital on June 28 of last year to report she had been kidnapped and sexually assaulted by an unknown male subject. She had earlier been reported missing by family members to Aurora Police.
OSP was called in to assist with the investigation, with detectives from the agencie’s Springfield, Albany and Salem offices becoming involved, along with officers from the Aurora and Scappoose police departments.
Investigators eventually determined, however, that Pedersen actually had spent the weekend with a male friend. She was subsequently arrested and charged in Linn County Circuit Court.
On January 8, Pedersen was sentenced to 36 months probation, 48 hours in jail, court costs, and was ordered to pay $8,034.40 in restitution to the Oregon State Police and Aurora Police Department. OSP gets $5,631.28 of that total.

2 days in jail really means no jail. This female did not spend 1 night in jail. She had her fingerprints taken and was then released.
It's just amazing that she did not get a book deal and a diane sawyer special!
I almost passed out reading this....a false rape accuser in the United States actually being charged!!! and being in jail for a few hours!!!
OMG what is this country coming to??
The next thing you know a woman who causes a guy to be in prison for a crime he did not commit will have to spend 3 days in jail!
Hey wait a minute, I thought women, and girls would NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, lie about rape????
It is a perversion in our law enforcement community that has fostered and enabled women and girls to now make very serious rape accussations, over such silly reasons as they were late for work.
Enabling false rape accusations to the degree that the law enforcement community is now doing, will be seen as "THE" prime example of the gender feminist dominance of our legal system.

While I can appreciate your desire to repeat these remarks as often as possible, I feel I have to ask...
Do you ever actually read the stories before posting this boiler-plate response?
Here, as is SO often the case, the Police did what they are supposed to do. They took the report (and took it seriously - as they MUST), they investigated; and, in the end, they uncovered the truth that the women had been (as is also so often the case) lying to cover time with a male friend.
Time and money were wasted on her lie, but no innocent man was arrested.
So, please explain how this story serves as an example of: "Enabling false rape accusations to the degree that the law enforcement community is now doing".
What, exactly, did the Police do that specifically enabled this FRA? They have NO CHOICE but to allow people to make reports of crimes (real or not). Are you suggesting that they turn away any and all women who wish to make rape complaints? - because that 's what it sounds as if you are suggesting.

I agree with everything you just said. Except I don't share your appreciation.
