Summary
Anjela Borisova Urumova, 20, received a 23-month prison sentence for falsely accusing Daniel Pierson of attempted rape and kidnapping in Pennsylvania, leading to his wrongful month-long incarceration.
Urumova pled guilty to seven misdemeanors, including filing false reports and fabricating evidence.
Investigators uncovered her lie after finding inconsistencies in surveillance footage. She admitted she targeted Pierson because she had seen him before.
Alongside jail time, she must pay $3,600 in restitution, undergo a mental health evaluation, and serve probation. Prosecutors warned the false claim damaged public trust and harmed real victims.
This kind of stuff boils my blood. Some asshole drags innocent people through some horrible shit for NO REASON.
It would take years to shake that out of you after it was over and done with. Also imagine what family, friends, employers, would say and think or do because of accusations like this.
This is so fucked up.
Could not agree more. Not only that, but the kind of damage this does to people with legitimate claims is hard to calculate…
I think she should have gotten what he would have gotten for punishment.
