Given how unspeakably cruel this crime is, less than two decades seems too light:
A 20-year-old Pennsylvania woman admitted she fabricated kidnapping and rape allegations that kept an innocent man locked up for over a month โ saying she targeted the stranger because he was "creepy."
Anjela Borisova Urumova is now facing jail time herself after pleading guilty to charges that she fabricated the sexual assault outside a local supermarket, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office said.
At the time the false allegations were made, the alleged crime was shocking enough to make national news affiliates:
And you can see why the news outlets glommed onto it: A pretty young woman...
...makes an horrific allegation about a rather hard-looking country boy:
Indeed, the young woman admitted as much. And now she's looking at a stiff sentence:
She was charged and pleaded guilty Thursday to one count each of false alarm to an agency of public safety and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, two counts of false reports and three counts of unsworn falsification to authorities, prosecutors said.
A spokesperson for the Buck's County DA said Tuesday that Urumova is facing up to 17 years in prison when she is sentenced in the case on March 21.
It's absolutely despicable to do this to a guy for no reason at all. Just because he gave you the creeps.
She'll have plenty of time to think things over in the state pen.
