Woman Confesses to Lying About Abuse


A 17-year-old woman called police Friday to confess that she lied the day before when she told them her husband had strangled her.

In truth, she was upset that he had stayed out all night and had threatened to find another woman, and have another child, if she left him, the Bremerton Police report said.

Police spoke to the 17-year-old, who lives on the 1600 block of East 31st Street, and she said she had been angry with her husband — whose age and name were not given in the report — because he arrived home at 3 a.m., the report said.

In the argument that followed his arrival, she threatened to turn him in for outstanding warrants, but that didn't daunt him. She then threatened to leave him and take their daughter, making it so he could never see his child again, the report said.

The man "responded by saying that he would go and have another child with another woman and this is when she got angry," the report said.

She did not want him to be with another woman, she told the officer, so she called police and said her husband had strangled her. But now she wanted him released from jail.

A report was referred to prosecutors for possible charges of making a false report.

so he went to jail for his warrants,thats understandable,But why was he arrested for strangling her and what degree of assault was he charged with? So this officer arrested him on her statement of being strangled, even with no obvious injuries to the woman? Im wondering if it was a woman officer that made the arrest and charged him, or has this county really gotten this greedy that they'll put anyone accused by anyone for anything thru there court system just to keep raising their salaries and our taxes?

This is another good example of why we shouldn't let 16 and 17 year olds get married or make babies.

How to stop them? That's the difficult question.

I see you men are feeling defensive, but the truth is that women often report the truth the first time and retract the statements upon threats from the men or from needing their income and support.

So please do not judge this young woman too harshly.

The odds are in the favor that the man is truly abusive. The responding officer had the opportunity to assess the man's character firsthand. Remember the man had outstanding warrants.

Re: Frikathi,

YOu are 100% right. I use to work in a shelter for DV. This is very typical. Sad to see our young girls still after all the deeds of the womens movement still think so little of themselves. Something was missed in the intended lesson.

Sounds similar to the situation a couple weeks ago when a woman charged her professor with rape. Investigation didn't add up and when confronted by police of that, she admitted she made the accusation up.
She was sentenced to 8 days in jail. The professor had already done 9 days in jail and was suspended from work.

Frlkathi has a point, but false accusations should be prosecuted more vigorously. They ruin peoples lives, although in this case the guy seems to be working at that himself, even if the warrants were from traffic violations.

There must be some proud parents out there somewhere. Uhm, probably not. The county should drop all charges if the two agree to not procreate further.

"Hatintweekers" and the rest of you people to say stuff like "Typical in Kitsap County" when stupid people do stupid things, need to get out more often. The world is over run with stupid people. Want proof? Watch "Cops" or "Court TV". They are every where. Kitsap County is a great place to live, and yes, we have our share of idiots. However, the vast majority of the population of our county are decient, hard working, law abiding citizens. So give us a break with your diatribes and jabs on how bad Kitsap County is. Enough already!

This story is, unfortunately, a mere repeating of signs illustrating how sick our society has become. It is also a sign of how much discrimination still exists.
Some of the following things, as mentioned above, should have raised a red flag:

- their ages, and thus (presumed) maturity level
- the lack of any evidence; there should have been some signs of a fight on either one or both of them, not to mention in the home where they lived.
- (lack of) witnesses to either story, or (presence of) witnesses to back up either story.

The fact of the matter is that it is politically correct these days to arrest the man, whether or not he is the perpetrator. Erin Pizzey, the founder of the world's first DV shelter, has repeatedly stated that, of the first 100 women to enter her shelter, almost 2/3 of them were as violent as, or more violent than, the men they were escaping from. Unfortunately, feminism warped DV into a gender issue, and helped create a system where women feel entitled to play the victim card whether or not they are the perpetrator. A key part of this is the mandatory arrest laws. What would happen if roles were reversed, or race was involved? Would people get upset if society felt that women, or black people , or any other single group of people should be routinely arrested on hearsay without any collaborating evidence?

I know; I've been there , done that, and am still paying the price.

How to stop them from makeing babies... Well I think we need to make birthcontrol alot better advertised. There is lots of diffrent kinds of birth control, and let's face it, preaching abstinence doesn't work.
