False VFW rape report leads to charges

Story here.

'A Lake Arthur woman who admitted to filing a false report about being raped in the Jennings VFW parking lot – and also admittedly filed a false report for an armed robbery in Lake Arthur – will now face charges from the Jeff Davis Parish District Attorney’s Office.

Cassidy said Jenny Thibodeaux, 42, of Lake Arthur, will face two charges of filing a false report and an additional charge of theft. On Nov. 18, 2008, Thibodeaux claimed she was raped in the field alongside the VFW on U.S. 90 by an unidentified assailant wearing dark clothes, gloves and a ski mask. She claimed she was attacked as she exited her vehicle to play bingo at the hall. She told police that the attacker fled in a white van. A woman on a cigarette break allegedly found Thibodeaux partially clothed and screaming for help, according to Jennings police.'
