Because victims
never make up stories about being raped.
It took a jury less than 30 minutes to decide Sara Ylen is guilty of filing a false felony report and tampering with evidence.
The 38-year-old Lexington woman told police two men broke into her Lexington home and sexually assaulted her Sept. 18, 2012.
Witnesses
testified to prior acts of false accusations of sexual assault by Ylen,
as well as bruises that appeared to be made out of makeup.
James Grissom served nearly 10 years in prison after being convicted in 2003 of raping Ylen in a Meijer parking lot in 2001.
He
was released from prison in November 2012 after the Michigan Supreme
Court granted him a new trial because investigators found Ylen had made
other unsubstantiated claims of rape.
Given the new evidence and
the length of time since the last trial, St. Clair County Prosecutor
Mike Wendling asked the case be dismissed. Wendling also asked that
Ylen’s current St. Clair County trial be handled by Wayne County because
of his office’s relationship with Ylen during the Grissom trial.
