A 21-year-old woman has been charged with public mischief for falsely claiming she had been the victim of an attempted sexual assault in the town of The Pas, RCMP say.
Kylie Ann Beaton is scheduled to appear in court April 4 after allegedly admitting to RCMP she lied Feb. 20 when reporting the attack, which she had claimed occurred as she walked home, police said.
Mounties said the woman eventually admitted to lying when investigators questioned her about inconsistencies in her account of the attack.
Before that, police said, they issued a detailed description and sketch of a suspect — one whom they ultimately found doesn't exist.
The description led to several anonymous tips from the public in the area.
The Pas is located 600 km northwest of Winnipeg.

Hey wait a minute here. I hear all the time that women and girls NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER lie about rape???
Upon conviction of guilty feed her to the grizzly bears.
The bears have better taste than that.
ok for everyone in the UK, i found out about this last week and watched the first episode tonight , Hollyoaks a soap opera is having a rape trial this week which seems to be handled quite well , the interesting thing is the end of the case will judged by a jury of public persons who watched the evidence only , it may be worthwhile for those who can watch it .
