Remember the NE woman who claimed she'd been brutalized in a hate attack? Police say she made it up

[cali]

The woman who told police she was the victim of a brutal hate crime in Lincoln last month will be arrested on suspicion of lying to police.

The Lancaster County Attorney issued an arrest warrant Tuesday morning for Charlie Rogers, who is charged with misdemeanor false reporting.

Rogers, 33, told police three masked men broke into her apartment on July 22, tied her up, carved anti-gay slurs into her skin and tried to light her house on fire.

Now, police say, they believe she made it all up.

1. She evidently did it to be a catalyst for change.

Thanks for nothing.

I was one of those who thought her story fishy to begin with. And this sort of shit really pisses me off. Way to make things harder for the very real victims of hate crimes, asshole.

3. Reminds me of that crazy ding bat that carved the backwards B in her face back in 2008

You can't make this stuff up...

4. I suggested that possibility on DU

in the thread about that claim. Inevitably, I was attacked for that suggestion.
