False Rape Report Not First For Syracuse Woman

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Syracuse woman who reported a rape in mid-March by an Indiana State Police officer, had filed similar reports in 2002 and 2009 with Syracuse Police.

Jama K. Brown, 33, West Pickwick Drive, Syracuse, was arrested May 15 and charged with false informing claiming an Indiana State Police officer raped her. The name she provided to police was fictional.

Information began unfolding on March 18 when an officer from Indiana State Police Bremen Post contacted Sgt. Kathy Robbins with the Fort Wayne post, asking her to contact Brown. Brown told the trooper she had been the victim of a sexual assault by an officer, but did not wish to speak to anyone out of the Bremen post. The investigator was told Brown had also claimed she was stopped by a Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department deputy a few days after the alleged assault telling her to leave the state officer alone.'
