BOLINGBROOK — Police say a woman made up a story that led to her ex-boyfriend’s arrest on sexual assault charges.

Will County Sheriff’s police arrested Liz S. Romero, 20, on an outstanding warrant for making a false police report Feb. 22.

Bolingbrook Lt. Mike Rompa said Romero called police Dec. 27 claiming her ex-boyfriend had broken into her 314 Woodcreek Drive apartment and kidnapped her at knifepoint.

“(She claimed) he then took her to a vacant home on the 300 block of Kirkwood Circle, where he allegedly battered and sexually assaulted her,” Rompa said. “The alleged suspect was taken into custody and transported to the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center.”

But investigators later reportedly determined “many details” in Romero’s story were false and reviewed charges against her with the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Nice to see that more and more, women are being (at least) arrested and charged for these false reports.

Now, if only there were laws on the books that would allow for some meaningful punishments to be imposed upon those who make such false allegations and who falsely accuse innocent individuals.

I wonder how many pennies she'll be fined and how many micro-seconds she'll be sentenced to.

That was a joke; of course she won't be punished at all.
