MAPLE VALLEY, Wash. (AP) — The King County sheriff’s office says a 15-year-old who reported she was attacked while jogging last week on a Maple Valley made up the story.

When detectives confronted the girl with conflicting evidence she admitted she lied. She had said she was thrown on the ground by two men who tried to take off her clothes and stabbed her in the leg.

Prosecutors will decide if she’ll be charged with filing a false report.
