UPDATE: Woman Admits to Lying to Police About Assault

Posted: Updated:

Traverse City Police say a woman has admitted she lied when she said she was assaulted at a party in Grand Traverse County.

Police say that Shai Lee Mallory reported that earlier this month she was sexually assaulted at the Bay Hill Apartment Complex.

After interviews with the accused suspect and witnesses, police say Mallory's story was not adding up.

When they confronted her they say she admitted she lied about the assault.

She now faces criminal charges for filing a false police report.

The felony carries up to a 4 year sentence.
