A 17-year-old Oneida girl named Katalyn Fura and her 22-year-old fiancé falsely claimed she was raped by a man they identified by name in order to get back at him for “running his mouth off,” state police said. The girl was charged with two counts of providing a false written statement, both misdemeanors, after telling a school official she was raped on a Lewis Point Road residence in late December. The girl's fiancé, Keith Drummond, 22, was also charged with providing a false written statement.
The story didn’t hold up long after state police started investigating. The girl claimed Drummond had interrupted the rape. Drummond claimed he didn’t see the girl until after it was over. The girl’s mother also said the girl wasn’t in the area where the rape supposedly occurred the day the alleged assault occurred. Both the girl and Drummond eventually admitted to the fabrication, Dougherty said.
“There was no clear cut reason for being mad at him,” the investigator said. “They said he was running his mouth off.”
While this site names the girl (see here) the newspapers reporting the story refused to name her. One of the papers, the Oberver-Dispatch, said it "does not identify defendants younger than 18." (See here) That's curious, because that's exactly what it did here -- it identified a defendant younger than 18 -- when the defendant was a 17-year-old male (the same age as the girl in this story) accused of rape. (See here) In fact, most newspapers report the names of teens under 18 who are charged with rape.

The mass media and its sex-based double-standards of reporting...
Looks like Katalyn has a little baby:

Fiance Keith has her listed and linked from his facebook page:

I wonder who the baby-daddy might be. Could it be Keith and if so will he be charged with Statutory Rape of a minor? It would be sorta funny if grandma ends up looking after the baby with Katalyn and Keith being sentenced to prison.
When I look at Keith's pic, I see a young generation of males that are shallow, lacking in honor, and without much manliness.

Of course the guy is named but the girl isn't,-The gender raunch community would be going crazy if she were,Oh but it's fine for the guy to be named,He's just a privileged male after all.
Yeah, Keith Drummond looks like a real winner. Click on his Facebook profile picture and read the comments. Apparently, he caused quite the stir amongst his peers previously.
To the reader who is trying to post a comment revealing personal information about one of the subjects: please note that we can't post such information without confirmation from the person. I would very much like to print it in this case as it goes to mitigate the crime purportedly committed by the young man.
