A 25-year-old Wilmington woman who reported she had been sexually assaulted was charged Tuesday with filing a false report, police said today.
New Castle County police charged Brittani Eatmon, of the 300 block of E. 22nd St., with falsely reporting an incident, agency spokesman Officer John Weglarz Sr. said.
About 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, officers were dispatched to the area of Newport Gap Pike and Lloyd Street to investigate an alleged sexual assault.
When officers arrived and spoke with the alleged victim, Eatmon changed her story, police said, and told them that an acquaintance had attempted to sexually assault her while she was at his home in Belvedere.
During the investigation, Cpl. Timothy Argoes found several inconsistencies in Eatmon’s story and police determined that the sexual assault never occurred, Weglarz said.
Eatmon told the officers that she made the report so that she could get the alleged suspect in trouble because he told her friend Jaquya Fairley to leave his home.
The investigator then spoke with Fairley and noticed she appeared very nervous.
Weglarz said the woman provided a false name to the officer because she was wanted on active warrants.
Both women were arrested and committed to the Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution.
Eatmon is jailed in lieu of $500 secured bail.
Fairley, 22, of the 500 block of Rodney St. in Wilmington, was charged with criminal impersonation and jailed after failing to post $1,000 secured bail plus $177 cash bail for the outstanding warrants.

And an even more interesting update, she used her sisters name in the lie:
County Police say a Wilmington woman used her sister's name when she arrested this week for falsely reporting a sexual assault.
Police say Jacqueline Eatmon first told them she had been assaulted by an acqaintance, then changed her story and said the acquaintance had tried to assault her at his Belvedere home Tuesday night.
Police found several inconsistencies in Eatmon's story and determined it was false.
They also learned Eatmon had told officers she was her sister, Brittani.
Jacqueline's being held at the Women's Correctional Institute, charged with criminal impersonation in addition to the original false reporting count.

Some people might look at a story like this and draw a hasty conclusion about nutters being behind most of thee false accusations. Not only would this be an inaccurate conclusion, but I think it would miss out on an insight that comes from women (normally I stay gender-neutral, but I deviate here for a reason) with mentally handicaps behaving this way.
I think the fact that so many adult women, who appear to have mental problems that render them to be childlike, use the rape story as their default "attention-getting" story is telling of the propaganda that is out there. Kids mimic what they see on TV. Adult women who act like children mimic the propaganda they see -- the propaganda that tries to convince women they've been raped or will be raped.
I would not be as inclined to expect a man struggling with mental problems to make a false rape claim as most of the propaganda paints women as the victims. Granted, I have not seen any stats and am not aware of the existence of any stats to backup that inkling of an idea.
It is the now institutionalized perversion of a law enforcement that has fostered and enabled a now "culture of false rape accusations". Young men have to fear dating girls, because a perverted law enforcement will enable her to cry rape if you break up with her.
Police: Woman Lied About Being Raped, Cut With Razor
Submitted by anthony on Thu, 2011-03-03 05:40.
Story here. Excerpt:
'UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- State police said a Fayette County woman made up a report that she was bound with a dog collar, cut with a razor, beaten and raped last month.
Trooper Heather Clem of Uniontown said Leah Dawn Saluga, 30, has entered an unspecified treatment program and will be charged with making a false report to police on Feb. 20.
Police said Saluga claimed she was raped by a man dressed in women's clothes who was walking his dog in a wooded section of Luzerne Township.'.

OT- Although the author is clueless about the causes -- blaming male anger on female "equality" -- this is nonetheless very encouraging:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2011-02-28/why-are-men-angry-manning-up-author-kay-hymowitz-explains/
But a lot of the responses unwittingly proved my point—and another one: Men are really, really angry. Consider: “We’re not STUCK in pre-adulthood, we choose it because there aren’t any desirable American women. They’ve been bred to abuse men.” This fairly typical response that appeared at the Seattle Post Intelligencer website: “Sorry ladies. In the age of PlayStation 3s, 24-hours-a-day sports channels, and free Internet porn, you are now obsolete. All that nagging, whining, and stealing our hard earned cash have finally caught up to you."
Shocked? I wasn t. During the last few years researching this age group, I’ve stumbled onto a powerful underground current of male bitterness that has nothing to do with outsourcing, the Mancession, or any of the other issues we usually associate with contemporary male discontent. No, this is bitterness from guys who find the young women they might have hoped to hang out with entitled, dishonest, self-involved, slutty, manipulative, shallow, controlling—and did I mention gold-digging?
(Uh, maybe it's because men have zero reproductive rights and can be destroyed by any one of these "slutty, manipulative" women by a false rape accusation?)

Mangum did the same thing! I believe that's considered identity theft.
OT - your number of followers keeps going up...
Very promising sign!
I have not even gotten around to the URLs @ urinals yet either.

Lying about a rape is legal.
Lying about a rape should become a felony.
Please let politicians know how you feel regarding this issue.
Lying about rape in not legal...Its the protocol perversion of American law enforcement, over the last 25 years that has turned America into a "culture of false rape accusations".
Sir Scott,
"Lying about rape in not legal..."
It's not? So why do you think this blog exists?
"over the last 25 years..."
Really? Strange. That means since 1986. So why did LE start this "protocol perversion" as you put it that year?
@ 2 anons above: I understand where both of you are coming from. Technically, lying about rape is not legal if the woman makes a false claim to the police. The problem lies in how often false claims are prosecuted and punished. For the same reasons it is incredibly difficult to prove a rape claim in a number of cases, it is also incredibly difficult to prove a false rape claim. The sad truth is that even when false accusers are determined to be guilty by their own admission or video evidence, people usually feel pity for them.
I don't think this is a problem -- that is, that people feel pity for them. Another commenter posted yesterday that we all acts are "humane." I believe in a different version of this statement. Most people who commit crimes (and are even guilty) are not sociopaths. I just feel that equal pity should be expressed for people. The damages done by a false rape claim and a real rape are very similar in my mind. I honestly do not have the goodness or power within me to feel pity for a real rapist or false accuser, but I think of that as a fault in my own personality. I would think it to be a greater fault though if I felt pity for one but not the other.
-just my 2 cents.
@ Freedom...
WTF?
what rape victim ever got thrown in the slammer for ten years FOR BEING RAPED?
. For the same reasons it is incredibly difficult to prove a rape claim in a number of cases, it is also incredibly difficult to prove a false rape claim.

No it isn't, and no it isn't.
It SHOULD be incredibly hard to prove a false rape claim, but with juries perfectly content to just take her word for it that isn't the case.
On the other hand, false rape claims should be VERY easy to prove, and would be... if prosecutors had to decency to charge them. False rape claims usually involve numerous disproven and/or contradictory statements on the part of the criminal, who normally have long histories of fraudulent behavior. Mangum and Todd certainly did.
Basically, the system railroad men based on zero evidence, then turns around and enables women who lie in spite of overwhelming evidence (far greater than "he said/she said").
I think I worded my post poorly and might have miscommunicated my thoughts.
@ Anon: I presume that many false rape claims come from he said/she said scenarios. If that's so, it's hard to prove something one way or the other beyond a reasonable doubt. I've read cases where I am pretty certain that the accuser is full of b.s. Nevertheless, in order to move forward, you need to be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt (12 angry men style). I am pretty sure I've seen Pierce write that he said/she said cases should just be thrown out if there is no significant evidence other than what one party is saying vs. what the other party is saying. I agree with that. If that were reality, many false accusations would never end up causing the amount of damage they do.
You are right to point out that there are a lot of cases that have been mentioned here where it seems that the false accuser could&should be prosecuted, as there is evidence to show beyond a reasonable doubt that they are guilty. My intuition though is that in the bulk majority of cases, the false accuser will not likely admit to lying nor will he/she be proven guilty by video evidence (think of all the cases we don't hear about).
I do agree that the punishments should be proportional, and that the system seems to have no interest in delivering justice against false accusers.
@AfOR: I believe that more damage is done to the victim of a false accusation than the victim of a rape. Both are traumatizing experiences, but at least the person who goes through rape can choose to move on with their life (something which is incredibly hard to do, but the key is the option is there). A victim of a false accusation often loses a job, family, money, the ability to get jobs in the future, and friends just as a result of the accusation. And then if they get falsely convicted, then the problems become much worse.
What I meant by the damages being similar is that both victims have to go through a traumatizing experience that should just never have to happen.
I agree that not every false rape accuser can be punished.
But for the love of God, couldn't we at least punish the ones who have confessed, have left vast trails of deceit, have long histories of committing similar acts? Spitting on the sidewalk is punished more harshly.
Damn, this one hits a little close to home as far as where the story originates from. Scary to think that no place is safe of false accusations like these.
