The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday that a woman made up a story about being raped.
Autum Michelle Hobbs, 21, of the 4100 block of Jody Circle, was charged with filing a false report with law enforcement officers.
She was arrested Monday.
Investigators said Hobbs claimed that she was kidnapped by three men Dec. 30 as she walked along Cumberland Road. Hobbs said she was held against her will, bound, threatened, beaten, and raped by the men.
Hobbs told detectives she was held for five to six hours and later dropped off at a different location and had to walk home.
But detectives said they found that at the time of the alleged rape, that Hobbs had actually been at a local bar with a female friend. While they were there, a fight broke out and both were forced to leave the premises.
Hobbs was booked into the Cumberland County Detention Center and later released on bond.

1) She didn't make the FRA against any specific men by name.
2) It doesn't appear she tried using the FRA as an excuse for something else she screwed up.
3) Perhaps she had some feminist political agenda though I don't get the feel that's why she did it. Maybe.
4) So far (based on what info I have) my gut says she did it for attention or is acting out sexual frustration/fantasy.
Women who make FRA should be stripped of their right to vote. I hope they do prosecute her for filing a false police report.

Aharon - ”4) So far (based on what info I have) my gut says she did it for attention or is acting out sexual frustration/fantasy.”
Perhaps it’s just that I’m more jaded that you about these sorts of stories, but my initial thought on cases like this are that, in fact, they are exactly what you describe in your second point – they are an alibi for something that she has screwed up.
If we look at the details of her allegation in light of the subsequently established facts of what was known to have transpired, we find that her claim to have been beaten (with the obvious physical evidence thereof) would be a nice back-fit to the revelation that a fight had broken out at the bar she was at. It seems likely that she sustained injuries in that fight and that she used the excuse of being raped & beaten as a cover story for why she received those injuries.
Now, while it is speculation on my part, it follows with what we’ve observed in so many other stories of alibi-FRA’s; I’m guessing that she has a boyfriend/partner who she did not want to know that she had been out at a bar (without him). Having to explain physical injuries (from a fight) would likely have “given away” the fact that she had gone out without him (raising the subsequent speculation that she was doing so as part of an effort to meet/hookup with other men on the side [while it’s not the subject matter of this site, such behavior by today’s women is well known for it’s frequency of occurrence].
It’s even possible that after leaving the bar, she went on to have a sexual encounter with someone – which might also explain both the length of time the FRA was meant to cover for, as well as the choice to claim rape (as opposed to some other form of assault).
Again, just my speculation here. But, I’ve often observed that news accounts seem to take great care in not revealing that a woman who has been caught in a rape lie has a husband or boyfriend, and thus revealing for the public a more obvious probable motivation for an FRA.
I’ve long believed that there are many in the press who would prefer that the public continue to believe that women who make FRA’s are simply those with mental issues who are seeking attention.
It helps to make the FRA issue seem less likely to affect most men (you know, just avoid the crazies), whereas revealing that a false accuser had a partner has the risk of causing readers to start connecting dots, and realizing for themselves that an FRA is actually a rational (even though quite twisted) approach for a woman who feels she needs to create an alibi for some illicit activity (especially sexual activity).
Such knowledge would thus risk alerting the public to the reality that FRA’s are even more likely that they might have otherwise thought – not just a few crazies, but also all those women caught cheating, women scorned, etc, etc, etc.
I personally know this girl. Both of you assumed correctly,..she was somewhere doing something she had no business doing. She lied to cover herself for other lies she told. She put her family through hell that night. She went to jail and is serving 15 days for this. I don't think that was enough. What if they had arrested some poor guys for this? Luckily, no one was arrested other than her. I M ashamed to even say I know her
