Missing 12-Year-Old Girl Lies About Sexual Assault

Oh dear. A 12-year-old Oakland girl who showed up at Oakland Children's Hospital on Sunday "after disappearing for several days admitted to authorities that she lied about being sexually assaulted." According to KTVU, she was last seen leaving Frick Middle School in Oakland on Thursday. "She told police Sunday that she took a bus to a San Leandro home and that she was sexually assaulted by two adult men." After further questioning and heaps of inconsistencies, police say the girl admitted to making up the yarn. Apparently, she was "at someone's house" the entire time. [KTVU]
