'A woman was sentenced for a false rape report that resulted in an innocent man being jailed for a month.

According to the Bucks County District Attorney's Office, a 20-year-old woman from Bristol Township was sentenced to 45 days to 23 months in Bucks County Correctional Facility for filing a false police report that led to an innocent man being jailed for a month.

Anjela Borisova Urumova pled guilty in January to seven misdemeanor counts, including false alarm to an agency of public safety, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, false reports, and unsworn falsification to authorities.

In addition to her jail sentence, Common Pleas Judge Stephen A. Corr ordered Urumova to serve one year of probation, undergo a mental health evaluation, avoid contact with the victim and his family, and pay $3,600 in restitution to the victim.

"Not only did this targeted false report impact the victim and his family in unimaginable ways, but there is also a profound ripple effect," said District Attorney Jennifer Schorn.

"A crime like this can shatter the community’s confidence in the system. It can jeopardize prosecutions of legitimate crimes of sexual violence."'
