Woman made up sexual assault tale at nightclub, police say
Story here. Excerpt:
'Collinsville police charged a woman with obstruction of justice and disorderly conduct Wednesday for allegedly making up a violent sexual assault last week.
Police say Imperial resident Lisa Soest, 21, gave them “false information” when she claimed a man she did not know tried to kiss her, pulled her into a car, punched her and then sexually assaulted her outside the Wild Country night club last Thursday.
Collinsville Police Maj. Brett Boerm said police thought it was “suspicious” that such a violent assault would happen in a well-lit parking lot on a busy night, at 12:40 a.m., as was reported. The night Soest claimed she was assaulted, the Wild Country club was holding a weekly event where college students get in for free.
Boerm also said that sexual assaults involving strangers, like this one, are so uncommon in Collinsville that police were dubious.'
