CONYERS, Ga. -- Conyers police have pressed charges against a woman accused of making a false sexual assault report, authorities said.
Amanda Little, 26, of Oxford, initially told police that she was kidnapped while walking in the parking lot of the Walmart at about 1 a.m. on Dogwood Drive on June 24, investigators said.
Little said she was taken to an undisclosed location and sexually assaulted, said police.
Upon further investigation, and after reviewing video from the Walmart parking lot, police said Little’s story simply didn’t add up. She later admitted to detectives that she lied and told them that she had been having sex at another location when her cell phone, which was in her back pocket, accidentally dialed the number of her boyfriend’s friend and left a voicemail recording, police said. Little said she came up with the abduction story as a cover up, investigators said.
“Our detectives did a good job with ferreting out the truth here. We are an agency that focuses in on the needs of our victims, and cases like this simply are a waste of time and tie up valuable police resources,” Conyers police said.
Little is charged with the false report of a crime.

$50 fine? One day in jail?
"Little said she came up with the abduction story as a cover up..."
Since this sort of thing is happening so often, the police ought to be seeing abduction/rape scenarios as "red flags", and should be keyed in to see if the alleged victim has a husband or boyfriend from whom she might feel compelled to hide illicit (sexual) activities.
Add to that all these late-night to early morning times when these sorts of cases seem to happen, and it would seem the place to start an investigation would be to ask why the women was out alone, away from her partner, at such a time - the very time when bars are closing and those who've hooked-up might well be leaving to have sex.
The fact that a woman has a husband or boyfriend should NOT be taken to mean that she is less likely to be lying, but rather, that she is MORE LIKELY to be lying.
Mr. SlWerner, add to that the type of employment, if any, held by the accuser. If a female is disatisfied with her job/social status, VAWA bucks and being considered a "victim" can be played by the female (sympathy/chivalry) to raise her job/social status. This female played her boyfriend. Imagine how he must feel. Do you suppose there is any chance the police and the state of Georgia feel like she was trying to play them as well?

Although not cited as one of the primary reasons for making an FRA back at the time of studies, such as Kanin's, I do believe that the financial gain motivation is now on the rise (either through victim's assistance monies, or even extortion/lawsuit efforts).
However, what I was getting at is that we see so many instance where a woman is either getting caught in infidelity, or believes that she is about to be, leading to her crying rape in a cover-up attempt (as in the story above).
And, as is often the case, such cover-up rape claims include abduction as a part of the scenario (a woman isn't going to tell her husband or boyfriend that the consensual sex she had with a lover was date-rape, after all. She'll tell it as a tale of abduction and forcible stranger rape).
This is why I suggest that when a woman is telling police that she has been thusly raped, it should trigger "reg flags" for the investigators to question if she is married or has a boyfriend, and (perhaps most telling), did she tell him first (trying to sell him on her cover-story) before reporting it to authorities. They should also be asking, "why, exactly, was she out at such an hour, by herself. Not that such stranger abduction-rapes late at night or in the early hours don't occur; but, given that women are typically well aware of the dangers, the question becomes why they happened to be in the situation they are claiming.
If the allegation is true, then the women will likely have a good reason. But, when she has difficulty explaining why she was "out", it may well be an indication that she was up to no good.
And, if it turns out that a woman first told her husband or boyfriend first, and it was he who insisted that she report it to police, then that may also be an indication that she only intended to try to sell him on her story, and didn't really want to involve police (much as happen with Danmell Ndonye).
There is no reason to believe that just because a woman is married or in a relationship that she's any less likely to be lying about having been raped. There is, however, ample reason to suspect that she may be lying.
The notion that woman don't routinely cheat on their partners is but another vestige of Chivalry that needs to be purged from the collective conscience. Likewise thew notion that a woman would not throw and innocent man (even her lover) under the bus to save her own skin (or, really, just her reputation) needs to be disposed of - we see it all the time in FRA accounts.

Has this story already been posted? I remember reading on this site some time ago about an FRA as alibi for inadvertent ass-dialing.

I believe it was previously linked by a poster in an earlier discussion thread. But, yes, it has been brought up previously. [I found that I had saved the story from this link - http://www.truecrimereport.com/2010/08/amanda_little_fakes_gang_rape.php]

#1 -I've never "accidently" ..."Ass dialed" anyone in my life.
Have you?
Has anyone here?
#2 - How do you, after accidently "ass dialing", do you inadvertantly LEAVE A MESSAGE?
What "message" did she leave? Sex noises? Farts?
This story is so full of holes it could make a good patty melt.
"#1 -I've never "accidently" ..."Ass dialed" anyone in my life.
Have you?"
Well no, then again, I've never had sex while wearing pants and a cell phone. It must have been some important call she was expecting.
