Woman who faked cancer stands trial for false rape claim
Story here. Excerpt:
'A woman accused of faking cancer is standing trial for falsely claiming she was raped by two men.
Sara Ylen, 38, of Lexington, Michigan, has admitted using make-up to make it look like she had been attacked.
James Johnson, a retired detective sergeant for the Sanilac County Sheriff Department, gave evidence yesterday at St Clair County Court, in Michigan, and said he had never heard a victim provide so much detail when he interviewed her after the alleged assault.
...
James Grissom, who spent 10 years in jail after being convicted of raping Ylen in 2003, was also
present in court yesterday.
Grissom was released in November 2012 after new evidence showed Ylen had made other accusations of rape.
...
She also faces fraud charges in Sanilac County following an investigation by Michigan State Police who investigated Ylen's cancer claims in May 2012 and discovered none of the doctors she listed had diagnosed her with cancer.
Her trial related to fake cancer claims begins on February 4.
The trial related to false rape claims continues today.'
