A woman who claimed last month that she had been lured into a wooded area of East Lake Community Park in Lakeville, Minnesota, may be facing charges for lying, after police “put in hundreds of hours investigating the case.”

Local outlet Bring Me The News reported that police began investigating the woman’s claims on March 27, seeking help from the public in a Facebook post. Police asked the public to help locate the “suspect of a violent assault,” describing the accuser as a “female victim in her 40s” who said she was “lured to a secluded area of the park by a male who said that he needed help with someone who had fallen.”
