WSU student faces charge of filing false report after rape claim

WSU student faces charge of filing false report after rape claim A Wayne State University student is being charged with filing a false police report after she claimed she was sexually assaulted on campus. As required by law, school officials issued a campus notice Wednesday about the reported sexual assault in a parking lot south of the Matthaei Building. But after reviewing video surveillance and noting inconsistencies in her story, police again questioned the woman. She signed a statement admitting her story was false, police said. "We treat all reports seriously," Chief Tony Holt, the WSU police chief, said in a statement. "But false reports take officers away from legitimate calls. They also hurt our safety reputation, and Wayne State is a very safe campus - one of the safest in Michigan."
