FALSE RAPE REPORT: Meteorologist Heidi Jones Charged With Filing False Rape Report. “WABC’s Heidi Jones, who anchors the station’s weekend evening weather coverage and fills in on “Good Morning America,” was charged Monday with filing a false report, a Class A misdemeanor. If convicted, she could face up to a year in jail or a $1,000 fine. Jones, 37, told cops she was jogging in the park the afternoon of Sept. 24 when a Hispanic man in his 30s or 40s grabbed her from behind, dragged her into a wooded area and attempted to rape her. . . . After being confronted with the discrepancies, Jones admitted that she pulled the story out of thin air, a source said. Jones said she concocted the tale in a plea for sympathy to counter some unknown setback she was experiencing in her personal life, the source added.” (Via Chris Kobus).
