Orlando police have arrested a woman they say made up a story about two men raping her.
Jacquelynne Ashley Thomas, 20, claimed that two men pushed her inside her apartment on Raper Dairy Road on Nov. 26 about 6:15 p.m. and raped her, investigators said.
Police arrested her Tuesday on charges of unlawfully filing a false police report and giving false information to a law officer to mislead or impede an investigation.
Thomas was released at 12:18 p.m. Tuesday on $750 bail.
Reached at home, she told the Orlando Sentinel that she pleaded not guilty.
"I know it happened" she said. "I had bruises all over me."

The story was a short blurb, so it didn't really get into why the cops think what they do. She's obviously not recanting, so I wonder what evidence they have?
This may be biased through my lens but I do wonder if she's mentally ill. That she actually believes she was even though there's no evidence to support it.
@ anon- but I do wonder if she's mentally ill.
I don't wonder this anymore than women wonder if male suspects are and that they just need a hug.
You gotta be kidding me, a women made a detailed and elaborate story that she was raped; when in "real life" there was no rape that took place.
I hear all the time that women and girls would Never, Ever, Ever, Ever lie about being raped...Ever!!!
Oh yeah and the Femocratic Party just announced they are having their 2012 convention in the home state of Mike Nifong. This will be good....
I was just leaving a frat party, around 4 oclock in the afternoon, and some black raper-stalkers came out of the bushes.
All the raper-stalkers raped me, and scratched a B on my cheek. Then they asked if they could use my cell phone, but i said no, cause my minutes were getting low.
Then the black raper-stalkers said if i text my sister in colorado (she goes to school out there), to tell her what happened, then they would send nasty text messages to me for a long, long time.
%% Folks, u think this is making a mockery of the rape accusation, but the reality is that by not charging false rape accusers, a false rape culture has developed that is making more of a mockery of the rape accusation, than i ever could.
”Reached at home, she told the Orlando Sentinel that she pleaded not guilty.”
"I know it happened" she said. "I had bruises all over me."
Crap journalism!
A woman alleges an aggravated rape, and two months later, after a presumably thorough investigation (i.e. they busted ass trying to fond evidence of the alleged crime so as find the suspects and build a case, but when they found nothing, they eventually turned to focus back onto the woman herself), they determine that she was lying about it.
Now, when there is simply no evidence to corroborate such an allegation, they will likely label it as “unfounded”, but, without some solid proof that she had fabricated her claim, they would not have arrested her and charged her. They'd have simply let it die quietly.
My guess is that the police provided reporter Susan Jacobson with at least some of the details as to why they believe that Jacquelynne Ashley Thomas had lied about having been raped.
But, instead of including that (telling/damning) information in her filed report, Jacobson goes to the “perp” to get “her side” of the story. And, that's what got published. Not the the other side of the story from the police, just the false accusers claim that she was raped, bruised, and is innocent of the charges against her.
Seems to me like the “journalist” is trying very hard to leave readers with the impression that this woman was raped, and is now being “re-victimized” by those evil police(men).

”Jacqueline Eatmon later acknowledged that the assault never occurred.
She told the investigating officer that she wanted to get the man in trouble because he had told her friend to leave his home.”]
Sounds like as good a reason as any, now doesn't it?
MR werner says..

I say, thats just a little better reason for making a false rape accusation, than one of the biggest reasons women and girls make false rape accusations... which is "they were late for work!!"
