A woman who claimed that she was kidnapped and assaulted in Otsego County in March was arraigned Tuesday in an Otsego County district court for filing a false police report.
Back in March, police say Abigail Arsenault, 19, claimed a man got in her car, held her at gunpoint and sexually assaulted her. The woman told police she managed to escape and call for help in Elmira.
Dozens of police crews responded with K-9 units to look for the suspect. About a week later, police determined that the kidnapping and sexual assault never happened.
Arsenault was given a $10,000 personal recognizance bond and is scheduled to appear in court again on May 13.
