Ypsilanti police say 19-year-old woman wasn't the victim of a stranger rape

Ypsilanti police say a 19-year-old woman who claimed she was pulled into a vehicle last week and raped wasn't being truthful.

In an interview today, the woman said she was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance, and it didn't happen in Ypsilanti, according to a news release.

Officers were called to a local hospital on Oct. 21, where the woman reported she had been raped by a stranger in the 1200 block of Cornell Street. She said she was walking to her vehicle when a man forced her into a Black Kia Soul and sexually assaulted her, reports said.

Detectives began investigating the incident, and a composite artist worked with the woman to generate a sketch of the "attacker."

Detectives interviewed the woman again today, and she admitted she hadn't been forced into a vehicle by a stranger, police said. She said she had been assaulted elsewhere by an acquaintance, reports said.

Police said the investigation will be turned over to the appropriate jurisdiction for further investigation.

No further details were immediately available.
