South Dakota woman creates fake rape story to get free STD testing



https://www.fox13news.com/news/south-dakota-woman-pleads-guilty-after-making-false-rape-claim-in-hillsborough-county

"She had consensual sexual intercourse with an individual in Hillsborough County," prosecutor Jessica Couvertier explained to the court. "Then she felt guilty about it because of her marital status, and she wanted to get checked out for a sexually transmitted disease."

But she wanted to get tested for free. So, she decided to lie again, and called 911.


"I was just raped, like 45 minutes ago," sobbed Skoglund on a recorded call.

Prosecutors said she went on to make up a story about having car trouble on I-75 and pulling over to the side of the road.

"An unknown male approached her, put a towel over her head and forced her into the backseat of her car," recounted Couvertier.

Skogland then claimed her attacker used a rope to tie her hands and feet and then sexually assaulted her. She told investigators her face was covered, so she wasn’t able to describe her attacker.

Her story started to unravel when police check her cell phone and found Walmart surveillance video of Skoglund buying the rope herself. She cracked under the pressure, and confessed to making the whole thing up.

She was charged with making a false police report and decided to take a plea deal.

She owes 70k too. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Husband is better off without her.

but this woman’s appearance reminds me of ‘Backwards-B Girl’ who claimed an Obama supporter held her down and carved the letter ‘B’ (presumably for ‘Barack’) into her forehead, backward unless you’re watching yourself in a mirror and get left and right mixed up.

Article doesn’t have a full description of the imaginary rapist, but I’m very interested in how she characterized the melanin level of his skin.
