Got a feeling there's room for one more MILF in this business.
NEW YORK — [AP] A meteorologist on ABC's local New York station accused of false reporting says she never told police she was the victim of a rape or an attempted rape.
Heidi Jones was given a desk appearance ticket for false reporting after police said she made up claims she was sexually assaulted in Central Park and later harassed by the same man. Police say she admitted fabricating the claims after they investigated the incident.
A lawyer for Jones said Friday the meteorologist never said she was the victim of an attempted rape, as was reported in the media. The attorney did not clarify what Jones says she told police.
The lawyer says the characterization of the case as a 'false rape claim' is an attempted character assassination. Jones has been suspended from the station pending an internal investigation.
