A 26 year-old Henderson County woman was arrested for filing a false police report after telling officers she had been raped and held at gunpoint.
Ronnie Kelley of Moore Park Cove was charged.
According to Henderson County Sheriff’s Department Captain Brian Roberts, Kelley told officers she had been raped, held at gunpoint and not allowed to leave a residence on Holly Springs Cemetery Road where she had gone with a friend.
She had self-inflicted scratches and marks around her shoulder and neck area, said Roberts, adding that she claimed to have been held down by one male subject and raped by another.
She stated she started text-messaging someone and was able to flee the residence as the two men came after her with guns.
The incidents reportedly took place on the morning of August 28. Around 8 p.m., the sheriff’s department got a call to respond to the hospital for a possible rape report.
A team of investigators were gathered, the judge was notified and warrants were signed at 12:30 a.m. on August 29 with the assistance of Asst. D.A. Angie Scott. Investigators interviewed 8-10 possible witnesses who had been at the residence, said Roberts.
"After interviewing the subjects that had been at the house, we learned there was more to this," said Roberts. "We went through all this activity to get all this information and cover all the bases. It took several hours interviewing, getting warrants for the residence, only to learn this was false. We went back at 2:45 a.m., picked up the alleged victim in the case and took her to the jail. She gave us a full confession that she wasn’t raped, she wasn’t held at gunpoint, and nothing she had told us was true."
