'HOUGHTON -- The 19-year-old Michigan Tech student, who according to police filed a false sexual assault report last month, faces up to four years in prison if convicted.

According to court documents, Jennifer Renee Stigers lives in a residence hall on campus.

Stigers was arrested on Monday by MTU Public Safety after she took back allegations that an assault happened in a campus parking lot on March 23.

Judge Mark Wisti continued bond, ten percent of $10,000, which Prosecutor Mike Makkinen didn't object to.

A preliminary exam is scheduled in district court on May 4.'

Great! The article actually published her name AND A PICTURE! Could be the small start for a much needed national database of sexual assault predators who make malicious false accusations of sexual abuse. A false accusation of rape IS RAPE!

Will she get significant jail time for nearly destroying someone's life? Doubtful!
