White Teen Who Lied About Getting Raped by Three Black Men Gets No Jail Time

Nineteen year old Breana Harmon of Pottsboro, Texas pleaded guilty to four felony charges this past week.

Those charges included tampering with physical evidence and government documents in regards to false reports of kidnapping and sexual assault.

The false reports were made last March.

Harmon was reported missing to the Denison Police Department on March 8, 2017, after witnesses noticed the door to her vehicle was ajar with belongings scattered on the ground.

A few hours later, Harmon walked into a church wearing only a shirt, bra and underwear. She said she had been kidnapped by three Black men wearing ski masks according to local news outlets.

Harmon claimed the men assaulted her and raped her.

However, investigators noticed some inconsistencies in Harmon’s story.

Medical examiners did not find any trace of Harmon’s rape.

The medical examiners also noticed that the rips and holes in Harmon’s jeans were not consistent with her injuries.

There also was the detail of no suspects being identified or arrested in the case.

According to the Huffington Post: “Harmon told police two weeks later that she made up the rape and that cuts on her body were self-inflicted.”

Harmon told the police that she was upset after she had a fight with her husband and cut herself and her clothes. She fabricated the rape story so that her family would not be upset with her.

Denison Police Chief Jay Burch said that Harmon’s false claims hurt the community, especially the Black residents.

“Breana’s hoax was also insulting to our community and especially offensive to the African-American community due to her description of the so-called suspects in her hoax.” Burch said.

Harmon will be sentenced on March 20.

Her deal has two possible punishments: regular probation or deferred adjudication, which often involves treatment or community service. Neither requires jail time.
