Sexual Assaults in Melton deemed false

In Australia: After a message was put out on Facebook that there have been two abductions in a week and a half, the police say that the claims are false, and are just creating hysteria in the community.  According to Detective-Sergeant Robert Henley of the Melton CIU:

“There have not been a series of sexual attacks on females in public places in Melton, these posts are just creating hysteria in the community.”
A 13 year old girl was found by a passerby on July 26th, in a "distressed" condition, and was unable to remember what had happened. She was taken to the hospital in a stable condition with pain in her neck and head.
Detective Sergeant Henley stated that police have ruled out sexual assault, but are “exploring the possibilities of an assault, a medical or accidental” reason for her collapse. 

“At this stage police and medical staff are trying to determine what happened,” he said. “Police do not believe it was a sexually motivated crime (and) are not discounting other possibilities.”

Classic case of neck rape.

Police have detained and questioned over 50 men.

Are you being serious? (link please)

Since a sexual assault has been ruled out, why would they only be considering men? And are they looking into the possibility that the girl might have a seizure disorder, and may have simply injured herself during a grand mal seizure event? Neck and head pain. Disoriented and memory loss. Sure sounds like a seizure to me.

Seems a more likely explanation than the old "some man must have done this to her" one.
