Nebraska woman sentenced for false sex-assault report pays $150 fine

Story here. Excerpt:

'COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) - A Columbus woman who recanted her story of being sexually assaulted by a man she met over the Internet has been fined and told to pay restitution.

Janae McMahon pleaded no contest to attempted false reporting. Last week she was fined $150 and ordered to pay the court $1,671 in restitution.

The 27-year-old had reported in May last year that a 38-year-old man from Meadow Grove sexually assaulted her after they watched a movie at her home.

He told police the sex was consensual.'

Oh gee, a $150 fine and court costs for committing a rape?

I thought rape was a serious crime equivalent to murder?
