Fortunately the man had an alibi.
The woman also applied for a domestic violence restraining order based on her false claims of rape and abuse. Can anybody guess if it was granted or not?
From Woman arrested for lying to police about rape (Pocono Record, 7/21/08):
Police arrested a Pocono Pines woman after they say she admitted lying to investigators when she accused her ex-boyfriend of assault and rape.
Elissa Easterling, 27, is accused of lying to Pocono Mountain Regional Police by falsely accusing a man of beating and raping her.
After originally telling police and court officials that she was assaulted on two occasions and raped once by her ex-boyfriend, she later said she “has problems” and that she had not had any contact with the man in months.
During the course of a month-long investigation after she told police she had been assaulted, police corroborated the man’s alibi and determined that Easterling had fabricated her reports.
She also testified in order to get a protective order against the man, under oath at Monroe County Court, that she had been raped. The protective order was granted.
When police confronted her with the evidence that she was lying, police say she admitted to making up the assaults. Easterling said the man did not harm her in any way.
She was taken to Monroe County Correctional Facility where she will be charged with perjury and making false reports.

She won’t get much of a sentence, but any at all is an improvement.

No doubt the ‘Protective Order’ will be added to the stats and the false allegation proof NOT take it off the stats.
And the Judge’s excuse? I suppose she filled out the forms correctly.
It is well past time that Judges were held to account.

Yet another false rape accusation. Yet again no movement to make these ever increasing crimes against civil rights a major felony.
