Heidi Jones, "Good Morning America" Weather Girl Lied About Being Raped by Hispanic Male in Central Park

Heidi Jones, "Good Morning America" weather personality, charged with a misdemeanor for lying about being raped by a Hispanic man in September.

Women like WABC/Channel 7 weather girl Heidi Jones give rape victims a bad name. According to the New York Post, Jones was arrested for lying to cops that a Hispanic man had tried to rape her while she was jogging in Central Park. She was charged Monday with filing a false report, which is a Class A misdemeanor and she faces up to a year in jail or a $1,000 fine, if convicted. Shameful. Absolutely shameful.

Jones, who anchors the station's weekend evening weather coverage and fills in on "Good Morning America," told police last month that she was assaulted in September while jogging in the park on 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. She told police that the would-be rapist was scared off by two passers-by who came to her aid.

The first clue was that she waited until Nov. 24, two months later, to report the alleged attack, the sources said. At the time, the sources said, she told police that three days earlier, on Nov. 21, the same man somehow found her again and harassed her, saying, "I know you went to the police." After cops took her report, detectives conducted a lengthy investigation, canvassing the area for video and witnesses.Jones said she concocted the tale in a plea for sympathy to counter some unknown setback that she was experiencing in her personal life, the sources said.

No matter what one is going through, filing a false statement with the police and implicating a nonexistent black or Hispanic male, just to start some drama about race, is just wrong. She isn't unstable, she's a low-down dirty liar who doesn't need to be on television screens. There are so many women out there who have been raped and reluctant to come forward because no-one would believe them or they are just afraid for their lives. To think that Heidi Jones could fabricate such a lie is reprehensible and an insult to women everywhere.
