California Woman Accused of Lying About Sex Assault

(Laguna Niguel, California) A 20-year-old local woman, Danielle Deichman, has been arrested for fabricating a sexual assault story and filing a false police report.

Danielle Deichman initially told authorities that she was assaulted Tuesday night while walking along La Paz Road, claiming she had been grabbed from behind and knocked to the ground near Kings Road about 7:30 p.m.

Troubled by inconsistencies in her story, investigators re-interviewed Deichman on Thursday, at which point she admitted to lying to authorities.

Deichman was booked into custody. She faces charges of filing a false police report and resisting arrest.
