MI- False rape report could mean prison

7-17-2009 Michigan:

Plead guilty to two counts of attempted false report of felony

DELTA COUNTY -- A Gladstone woman could face prison time for allegedly making a false rape and kidnapping report to police back in February of 2008.

Wednesday, 27-year-old Amanda Miller-Tryan pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted false report of a felony, which is a two year felony. Four other false report charges were dismissed with the plea agreement.

Miller-Tryan said she and her husband concocted the story about a fake sexual assault and kidnapping after they had a physical altercation, and she felt she needed hospital attention.

"When you say an outside party, what did you report to police? You reported it was a stranger that did this to you?" asked the judge.

"Yes, someone I had met a few days beforehand," stated Miller-Tryan.

"But in any case, there was no stranger that did this to you?" the judge questioned.

"No, no," Miller-Tryan answered.

"Okay," the judge responded.

The amount of restitution has yet to be determined. Sentencing will be within the next six weeks. ..Source..
