I THOUGHT THIS NEVER HAPPENED, BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING: Woman pleads guilty to lying about rape.

Rodney Peters knew Kimberly St. Charles just four hours before she told police he raped her.

After intense interrogations over two days and following a polygraph test, his bosses suspended him and Peters feared he would be jailed. But because his story was so convincing, police asked more questions of his accuser.

That’s when St. Charles admitted she lied, police said.

“She didn’t know me,” Peters said Tuesday after St. Charles pleaded guilty to making a false alarm, a felony. “She was essentially a stranger.”

She should get more than a slap on the wrist.
