An 18-year-old student at the University of Alabama was arrested for filing a false rape report yesterday. Emma Mannion had told police that two men had forced her into a jeep Cherokee around 2 am yesterday, according to College Candy.
Tuscaloosa County’s Metro Homicide Captain, Gary Hood, stated that authorities had checked through the video surveillances and interviewed witnesses that might've been present at the time of the incident.
Nothing was found to support her allegations. The detectives had brought this information back to her, informing her about a lack of evidence found. The pressure must've gotten to her, because it wasn't long after that Mannion had admitted that her original story had been made up.
Hood did not disclose the reason why the 18-year old had lied.
He "credited the abundance of surveillance cameras throughout the area, located both on and off campus, for getting her to confess. “It disputed what she told us early on,” he said, referring to the surveillance footage," according to College Candy.
WHAT WAS MANNION THINKING?! WAS SHE SEEKING SOME TYPE OF ATTENTION?! If so, her planned worked...just maybe just not exactly how she wanted. If 15 seconds of fame is what she wanted, her wish was granted. She's all over the news now.
This is not something that Mannion should've ever lied about, that's like telling your teacher that a close relative of yours died, when that really didn't happen, but you just wanted to get excused for missing class or not bringing in your homework on time. I believe in karma, so whatever you put out there through actions and words (whether that be good or bad) will find it's way back to you. If therapy is what Mannion needs, please reach out to a therapist. You should never lie about being raped. I don't see any reasons why anybody should. Look what happened to Emma Mannion now, she got arrested and is probably still behind bars right now.
