Purported Hate Crime Was Faked

ADA, Okla. (AP) A woman who claimed two men threw her to the ground and one of them cut the word, "lesbian," into her forearm with a knife has admitted to fabricating the incident, Ada city officials said Friday.

Sarah Kaspereit, 21, showed police superficial wounds when she reported the incident in December in this city of about 15,000 people, 90 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.

"Both the FBI and local police conducted an investigation and ultimately determined the wounds were most likely self-inflicted," city spokesman Mark Bratcher said in a written statement.

"Kaspereit admitted that was indeed the case on March 1, almost three months after she initially filed the false report."

The story goes on to say that Kaspereit will not be charged with filing a false police report and also relates another false report that was made recently in Oklahoma.
