TX- Woman who claimed rape out on bail

10-20-2009 Texas:

A 26-year-old woman is free on bail after being arrested this weekend on a charge of making a false report.

Police said Nicole Soto falsely claimed two San Antonio police officers raped her. Soto was arrested Saturday and posted bail the same day, authorities said.

She also was charged abandoning a child with the intent to return, among other charges. Police said the charges stem from an incident that occurred near a West Side apartment complex on April 16.

A police incident report states that police were called to the 5600 block of West Durango Street around 2:45 a.m. for an intoxicated woman in a vehicle with a child. When police arrived, they found a toddler asleep in the unlocked vehicle, but the mother wasn't around.

Police later found her wandering around the complex.

After being arrested, Soto claimed the officers raped her. Police later determined the accusations were false. ..Source.. by Eva Ruth Moravec - Express-News
