Man jailed after falsely reporting sexual assault

A town man was sent back to Orleans County Jail on Thursday after falsely reporting a sexual assault at the facility, deputies said.

Joseph J. Motzer, 18, was jailed Monday after a disturbance at his home, said Undersheriff Steven D. Smith in a news release. He allegedly caused several thousand dollars' damage to the interior.

Motzer was charged with second-degree criminal mischief. He was released Thursday after posting $1,000 bail.

Upon release, Motzer went to Lakeside Memorial Hospital in Brockport and reported the assault, deputies said.

The resulting investigation determined the report was false, deputies said. Motzer allegedly admitted eventually the story was fake.

Deputies went to his house later that evening to arrest him for falsely reporting an incident. He allegedly resisted and was subdued with a Taser after a brief foot pursuit.

Motzer was additionally charged with resisting arrest. He posted $2,500 bail Friday morning and is to appear Tuesday in Albion Town Court, and Feb. 6 in Kendall Town Court.

His mother Jill J. Motzer, 48, allegedly interfered with deputies during Thursday's arrest. She was charged with second-degree obstructing governmental administration and was released on her own recognizance.

He was jailed after falsely reporting sexual assault? If he were a she, they would have given him a vagina pass instead of a penis penalty.

I think the 2% false accusation/claims might apply to men.

There are getting to be more and more.

Maybe that's not a bad thing. They will never admit women lie, but if enough men start doing it...

Oh, well. I can dream....

This guy must have know a female who got away from a criminal charge by crying rape.

He just forgot that women are presumed to be telling the truth while men are not.

No vagina pass for him!

Women must be above the citizenry,an extralegal class.
Administrative law fits in well with this concept.

False accusation awareness IS a good thing, and zero tolerance for ALL perjuries is imperative.

Decreeing one gender "incapable" of raping means one gender is incapable of lying about rape - which we know anyone is as capable of innocence or guilt as the other.

Women can rape, women can lie about being raped - just like their male counterparts can.
