Summary
Anjela Borisova Urumova, 20, received a 23-month prison sentence for falsely accusing Daniel Pierson of attempted rape and kidnapping in Pennsylvania, leading to his wrongful month-long incarceration.
Urumova pled guilty to seven misdemeanors, including filing false reports and fabricating evidence.
Investigators uncovered her lie after finding inconsistencies in surveillance footage. She admitted she targeted Pierson because she had seen him before.
Alongside jail time, she must pay $3,600 in restitution, undergo a mental health evaluation, and serve probation. Prosecutors warned the false claim damaged public trust and harmed real victims.
The court press release said she was sentenced to “45 days to 23 months” and the linked news article garbled that to “23 months and 45 days” which they somehow added up to “nearly 2 years”. No idea why the sentence itself has such a wide range.
Usually ours to account for things like good behavior/parole I think? I always assumed they used that upper range as the stick part of the incentive to not fuck up again once you’re out of prison since getting sent back would make you serve the longest possible sentence.
could be, or more likely in my mind it’s just an ai fuckup.
