Abduction attempt a false report

Aug. 3, 2012 | 5 comments

 

The attempted abduction reported to Clintonville Police on July 11 has been determined to be a false report, according to a memo released by the department on Aug. 3.

The 19-year-old female who reported the incident recanted her story to the police on Thursday evening, Aug. 2, during a follow-up interview.

Inconsistencies in the victim’s initial report and follow-up interviews with police determined that the victim had made up the alleged attack and attempted abduction for personal reasons.

The matter will be referred to the district attorney’s office for consideration of charges for filing the false report.

    When you say "victim", you mean "suspect", right?

  2. She was the "victim" in the initial report, and was still the "victim" when the police interviewed her.

  3. You're the kind of reader that this paper is writing for.

    What the reporter is trying to say is: "The report of an attempted abduction was determined to be false".

    No attempted abduction happened - repeat, it never happened. So, there is no victim of an attempted abduction.

    Although I'd be curious to know if she described a real person/vehicle - trying to pin a fake crime on him. If so, he would be the "victim" of the false report.

  4. You should know what the reporter is trying to say. Commenting on almost every story on this website...and it is a website, not a paper...must make you smile every time you click "post your comment". Cheers to you!

    I guess you give them less [i]benefit of doubt[/i] than even I do.
