Department said, "After a pretty intense investigation, it was revealed that the allegations of rape were falsely filed.
The woman could face felony charges. "She can indeed and we are contemplating those charges at this time,." according to Townsend.
[FRS COMMENT] - It will be interesting to find out what those felony charges are, as most are a misdemeanor charge of Filing a False report.

Why did she make the claim?
Because she is a female short on attention.
Umm tasty felony charges.
Like victory in the morning.
Hey wait a minute, i hear all the time that women and girls would NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER lie about rape.
She probably planned to extort a settlement out of Walmart- what with the women's "discrimination" suit going on in the Supreme Court nows a good time to pile on the gravy train.
