MSU police plan to bring felony charges against an 18-year-old student who filed a false report of a Sept. 11 sexual assault near IM Sports-East, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said.
The student, who filed the report Wednesday, said she had been assaulted in the wooded lot northwest of the IM building. She said the suspect told her he had a gun.
Further investigation found several inconsistencies in her story, McGlothian-Taylor said.
Students received an e-mail crime alert from MSU police Thursday, saying the woman had been sexually assaulted at gunpoint.
