Woman who lied about being raped on college campus gets jail

BAY CITY, MI -- Despite previously indicating he wouldn't do so, a Bay County judge sent a woman to jail for making up a story about being raped in a Delta College parking lot.

Sheeran deferred an additional 220 days in jail, meaning Zolkowski will only have to serve them if she violates probation.

Woman charged with falsely reporting she was raped at Delta College.

In a Cobbs hearing held in March, Sheeran indicated he would not impose jail time.

During it, investigators learned a parolee with sexual assault convictions was on campus at the time of the alleged attack.

He provided investigators with text messages they had exchanged, in which Zolkowski claims to have been raped by a stranger at Walmart after they had separated. »
