Australia: Woman who claimed abduction bid charged

Link here. Excerpt:

'A woman who claimed she narrowly escaped being abducted by a group of men in a red hatchback in Sydney's southwest has been charged with making it all up.

The 29-year-old, named only as Ada, appeared in television news reports last week after claiming a man grabbed her on Railway Street in Liverpool and tried to drag her to the car.

She said that when she started shouting and screaming, the man let go and fled in the car.

The woman said no one came to her aid, though there were lots of people around, and she questioned whether she would ever feel safe.

Her complaint sparked a police investigation and an appeal for witnesses to the alleged abduction.'
