A woman who originally told police she had been abducted and raped twice by two unknown men recanted her report Thursday, said IU Police Department Capt. Jerry Minger.\nThe woman first told police that the men abducted her while she was on the corner of 10th Street and Sunrise Avenue at about 10:30 p.m. on Feb. 22. She said the men grabbed her by the arms as she was walking home from work and put her in the backseat of a car, drove her to a parking lot and assaulted her before dropping her back off at the original location. But when she went in for a follow-up interview with Detective Sgt. Leslie Slone Thursday, she said she had not actually been sexually assaulted or abducted, Minger said.\n“She had had consentual sex with a subject she met on the Internet at a Motel Six,” Minger said.\nMinger said the case is still being actively investigated. He said IUPD submitted an affidavit for charges of false informing to the Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office for consideration.
