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.
So slander is as bad as rape?
Slander that implicates an innocent of a crime should carry the sentence of that crime. His life is forever changed, and is forever linked with that accusation, regardless of his innocence.
Not what they said and you know it.
Such a bad faith line that tries to down play the damage this did. Do better.
