Kidnapped female French jogger made up whole thing...

And people wonder why we must question facts in news stories when they are originally reported...

A 17-year-old girl who said she was kidnapped while jogging in western France, triggering a frantic search by hundreds of police, has admitted her story was a hoax, prosecutors said.

Under questioning the teenager, identified in media reports as Lisa P, said she had "lied" about an abduction by two men on Monday and her eventual escape the next day, said the public prosecutor for the city of Laval, Celine Maigne.

Lucky no man was sent to the gallows before this news broke.

for privacy sake, lets call her 'Lisa P'...No that's too obvious...uuh. Let's say 'L. Pimpson'.

Hmmm.......so, according to her original story, she was kidnapped by two men, somehow escaped and managed to flee on foot, and then decided to just pop in for a kebab instead of finding a way to phone home or call the police???

What an idiot! I hope they throw the book at her.

Oh no! It’s happened again! Is there any way of completely deleting a post made in error?

With the new improved Boards it's hard to know. You could do a post saying what you really meant to say.

If it wasn't her chances are that there was some woman kidnapped like that, that may not have had the chance to escape. Fair play to her for highlighting some of the scenarios facing women.

Lucky France is a member of the EU and we don't have the death penalty🙂

The story really only proves that immature teenagers do stupid things.

Fair point. But my issue was not that I said something I didn’t mean to say. The problem was that it posted twice (my fault, I know!) and I couldn't figure out how to delete the duplicate post.

Seriously? So you think that the best way of drawing attention to crimes against women is to make things up. And do you have any concern that this might have any impact on the credibility of those who are victims of actual crimes?

I see it is gone now anyway.

Don't worry about it. It has happened to me a few times since the re-vamp where a second copy of a post appears and then disappears.

ok... and if some woman had been kidnapped like that, with the police being alerted, but they were all out looking for the hoax? What about the decreased ability of the police in the region to combat other crimes (regardless of whether they were against women or men), due to the assets committed to looking for this idiot?

You really think her intention was to highlight some of the scenarios facing women?

You're going to some incredible lengths to excuse the stupidity and selfishness of this woman's hoax.

In addition to the idea that the possible dangers that exist for women are some kind of mystery, and/or hidden from the view of most people. I suspect most people would be aware of the possibility that something like this could happen to a woman (or to a man, for that matter).

Women lying and stirring up sht which goes on to get men beaten/imprisoned/killed/executed is about as old a story as you can find.

its discovery of the wheel old.

# believe evidence.

If she'd held out for another day or two she could've got a #IBelieveHer going and we'd hear about how the cops everywhere are a disgrace for questioning people who claim to be the victims of crime, anyone who doubted her would be a woman hater and it would be evidence that Boards and the internet in general is just a cesspit of incels.

I am surprised the usual suspects haven’t appeared on this thread yet to remind us of the injustices women like Lisa P face every day. But maybe they are still gathered at said kebab place trying to get their argument straight for this tragedy.

On a more serious note: it says a lot that she is referred to as a “young girl” in the media which will form the basis for her defense. Little mention that she cut her own T-shirt with scissors and that the two abductors had allegedly also hit her…
