A woman has given an abominable excuse for falsely accusing a man she had never met of attempted rape.
Anjela Borisova Urumova, from Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, admitted she lied when she filed a police report accusing a man she didn’t know of attempting to kidnap and rape her.
According to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, Urumova told police officers that a 41-year-old man had attacked her in the parking lot of Redner’s supermarket in Middletown Township on April 16, 2024.
The 20-year-old claimed Daniel Pierson had pulled her pants down and struck her in the face.
When she filed her allegation, Urumova reportedly had a visible mark on her lip and was able to describe the man’s pickup truck in detail.
She said he was driving a dented dark blue Ford F-150 pickup with a ‘thin blue line’ sticker on the rear windshield.

After investigators tracked him down, Urumova said she was ’60 percent sure’ he was the suspect in a photo lineup, reports Law&Crime.
Pierson was held on a $1 million bail after being charged with several felonies and spent a month incarcerated while officers investigated the case.
According to a statement by the DA’s office, Middletown Township Police ‘collected and reviewed available surveillance videos from multiple retailers in the area of the reported attack’ and assessed Urumova’s cellphone.
The investigation unearthed ‘multiple inconsistencies and contradictory information’ from the woman’s account of the attack.
When police confronted her with the evidence, the woman reportedly ‘admitted she lied about the entire incident’.
A copy of the criminal complaint, obtained by Law&Crime, reveals she ‘specifically targeted’ the stranger because she had ‘seen him and the truck in the past’.

As for her injury, she revealed her grandmother, who suffers from dementia, threw an object at her which caused the laceration, which she then used to blame on Pierson.
Yet her most heinous admission comes as Urumova said she accused the innocent man of attacking her because he looked ‘creepy’.
Urumova pleaded guilty on Thursday to seven criminal charges in connection with her fabricated story, Law & Crime reports, including one count each of false alarm to an agency of public safety and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
She also pleaded to two counts of false reports and three counts of unsworn falsification to authorities.
Common Pleas Judge Stephen Corr has deferred her sentencing so she can undergo a pre-sentence investigation.
After spending 31 days behind bars, the authorities determined Pierson had not committed any crime and he walked free after all charges against him were dropped.
