A Pennsylvania woman has confessed to fabricating a story about an attempted rape and kidnapping, , according to ABC 27 News. The man she accused spent a month in jail for a crime he did not commit.
As stated in a press release from the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, Anjela Borisova Urumova, 20, pleaded guilty on Thursday. She was charged with seven misdemeanor charges related to her false claims that a man assaulted her in April 2024. She plead guilty to one charge of false alarm to an agency of public safety and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, two counts of false reports, and three counts of unsworn falsification to authorities.
Urumova was charged in May 2024 for filing a false police report. She alleged that Daniel Pierson attempted to rape and kidnap her in a Redner’s grocery store parking lot in Middletown Township on April 16, per the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office. Following her arrest, Urumova claimed Pierson attacked her from behind, pulled down her pants, and hit her, but she managed to escape.
Urumova Confesses To Wrongfully Accusing Pierson
The criminal complaint revealed that Urumova admitted to wrongfully identifying Pierson because she had previously seen him and his truck in a parking lot, believing he appeared
“creepy.”
It was also noted that a laceration on her lip, which she claimed was from the attack, actually resulted from an earlier incident.
“Her grandmother, who Urumova claimed suffered from dementia, did not recognize her as she entered the house and threw a plastic object at her, striking her in the lip…”
the criminal complaint said, per WPVI.
The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office discovered that the story was false during their investigation. “The review led to the discovery of multiple inconsistencies and contradictory information with Urumova’s account of the attack at the Redner’s parking lot,” the release continued. After spending 31 days behind bars, Pierson was released and cleared of all charges against him, according to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.
