Monday, January 20, 2025 - An American woman from Pennsylvania said she falsely accused an innocent man she never met of trying to rape and kidnap her all because he looked 'creepy'.
Anjela Borisova Urumova, 20, pleaded guilty to filing a
false police report against 41-year-old Daniel Pierson, whom she accused of
attempting to kidnap and rape her.
Pierson was held on a $1 million bail, charged with multiple
felonies and spent a month in jail as a result of the false claims.
According to the Bucks County District Attorney's Office,
Urumova alleged that on April 16, 2024, Pierson attacked her outside of a
supermarket.
She claimed that he had pulled her pants down and struck her in the face.
'As part of the investigation, Middletown Township Police
collected and reviewed available surveillance videos from multiple retailers in
the area of the reported attack, and a detective with the Bucks County District
Attorney's Office conducted a forensic review of Urumova's cellphone data,' the
DA's office said in a release.
'The review led to the discovery of multiple inconsistencies
and contradictory information with Urumova's account of the attack.'
Urumova was confronted by authorities and 'admitted she lied
about the entire incident', confirming she hadn't been attacked by anyone,
prosecutors said.
Urumova also said that she 'specifically targeted' and
identified Pierson as her attacker because she had 'seen him and the truck in
the past' and was able to describe him and the vehicle to the police.
She described the vehicle as a dark blue Ford F-150 pickup
truck with a 'thin blue line' sticker on the back windshield with visible dents
and rust on the exterior.
The injury to her face was allegedly due to an altercation with a family member.
'Her grandmother, who Urumova claimed suffered from
dementia, did not recognize her as she entered the house and threw a plastic
object at her, striking her in the lip. This incident allegedly caused the
laceration to her lip that she later blamed on Pierson,' the criminal complaint
said, Law & Crime reported.
Urumova pleaded guilty to seven misdemeanour charges: 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.
The charges against Pierson were dropped, and he was freed.
Common Pleas Judge Stephen Corr deferred sentencing so she
can undergo a pre-sentence investigation.
