Canada: Sex attack hoax case closes with no charges against perp

Story here. Excerpt:

'There was no doubt a great deal of relief in Barrhaven, as well as head-scratching, this week when that January attack was revealed to have been a hoax. Ottawa police, who canvassed the neighbourhood and viewed video footage from the OC Transpo park-and-ride where the girl said she was dumped after the attack, say they have closed the case and that the claims made by the girl are unfounded. They have not charged the 16-year-old, who had described the man she said forced her at gunpoint into his vehicle in detail.

Some in the neighbourhood are now calling on the girl to apologize for the effect the hoax had on the community, especially the heightened sense fear that the streets were no longer safe because a rapist was on the loose. The incident must have shaken the community.'
