Woman wrongly attacked online in abduction story advised to report people

Options have been provided by Police to a woman to lodge a report against those attacking her online and claiming she was involved in an abduction case that has now been established to be made up.

A 19-year-old woman made the allegations of abduction against the woman causing her to be attacked online.

Even photos of the woman have been widely shared.

Police say this woman had initially offered the 19-year-old a place to stay after seeing her asking for money.

This 19-year-old woman claimed she was drugged and abducted late last month and found herself in a strange home in the Bau area, where she saw other girls who were also taken forcefully by the same woman who gave her a beverage to consume in Vatuwaqa.

She has been charged with two counts of Giving False Information to a Public Officer.

Police managed to locate the woman who she claimed had abducted her and discovered that she had gone willingly with her after the woman found her asking for money and wanting to get away from home.

She went to the woman’s home and stayed with her family for one week, before running away again.

Other witnesses also provided information to Police that strongly contradicts the claims made by the 19-year-old woman and forensic drug tests conducted have all turned out negative.

She was also taken for psychiatric evaluation.
