'NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) - Taxpayer dollars were wasted. Precious police time was abused. It was all because a Newport News teen lied about being raped.

"It's very frustrating because we have actual legitimate cases that come through our unit," said Detective Amber Rogers of the Newport News Special Victims Unit.

On Monday, Sept. 24 Rogers had no reason to believe a 15-year-old told her anything but the truth.

"She alleged that an unknown male, unknown race, abducted her from the bus stop, drug her to the woods behind the bus stop, and then sexually assaulted her," Rogers said.'
