TAMPA, Fla. - A South Dakota woman traveled all the way to the Tampa Bay area to cheat on her husband, but she ended up facing criminal charges.

Renee Skoglund filed a false police report that has now landed her in legal hot water.

Prosecutors said Skoglund’s trail of lies started on March 8 when she decided to have a one-night stand.

“She had consensual sexual intercourse with an individual in Hillsborough County,” prosecutor Jessica Couvertier explained to the court. “Then she felt guilty about it because of her marital status, and she wanted to get checked out for a sexually transmitted disease.”

But she wanted to get tested for free. So, she decided to lie again, and called 911.

“I was just raped, like 45 minutes ago,” sobbed Skoglund on a recorded call.

Prosecutors said she went on to make up a story about having car trouble on I-75 and pulling over to the side of the road.

      What study might that be? All the data I’m finding puts the estimate between 2-10%.

        I wouldn’t say 10% is rare. Also, that’s 10% that were discovered to be false, so I would imagine there’s some variation there and these results are probably higher for POC.
