A 21-year-old Melbourne woman who claimed she was raped on a beachside track in broad daylight will be charged with making a false report to police.
The woman told police she was jogging on a dirt track beside The Esplanade in Mount Martha, south of Melbourne, when she was attacked just after 5.30pm (AEST) on September 13.
Police on Tuesday said detectives had completed their investigation and were now satisfied no such event happened.
"Police wish to allay community fears and reinforce the fact that this incident did not occur and there is no one sought in relation to the matter," a police spokeswoman said.
"The 21-year-old woman is expected to be charged on summons with making a false report to police."
The woman had told police she was startled by a man standing on the dirt track exposing himself.
She said the man tackled her to the ground, removed her pants and then sexually assaulted her on the track.
She told police the attack only stopped when she bit him on the neck. She then fled to a nearby house to raise the alarm.

She is not named either.
And she is 21 years old and they already determined that she is guilty.
If she were an 11 year old boy ACCUSED of a crime though his name and face would be posted everywhere.
”Police on Tuesday said detectives had completed their investigation and were now satisfied no such event happened.”
Now, I’m not posting the following as some sort of way to take a “cheap-shot” at some other posters, but rather because I do believe this to be a hope sign.
We’ve seen a fair number of stories going back a number of weeks now, in which rape claims have been determined to have be falsified by proper police investigations, and seemingly without any innocent men having become the target of those investigations. In fact, I cannot remember the last time we saw a story in which a man was targeted. [I’m sure being throw against a wall and handcuffed was certainly unpleasant, but it’s not really the same as becoming the target of an investigation, arrested, and being “brow-beaten” in an attempt to gain a confession.
Could it be that LE is starting to “get it”?
I’d sure like to think so.
"Police took one young man into custody after he was found having sex with a young woman, but he was later released after it was determined she was his girlfriend and over 18, KOMO reported."
Uh-huh
"We don't know for certain [what drug was used]. We've drawn blood at the hospital," Ferguson said. "We're suspecting it's some type of roofie or some type of ecstasy, but that's yet to be known."
Except those are completely different drugs, that have completely different effects.
"An ambulance is shown in this file photo."
And here's a picture of a wookie...
