That's a question people are asking about a New York City meteorologist, Heidi Jones, who allegedly told police a man tried to rape her only to admit she had made the whole thing up.
Police say Jones told them on Nov. 24 that a man tried to rape her a month earlier as she ran in Central Park. She said the same man harassed her outside her apartment Nov. 21 at 7:50 a.m.
Jones, 37, had said her assailant was a Hispanic man in his 30s or 40s, who grabbed her from behind, dragged her into a wooded area and attempted to rape her, the New York Post reported. She told police that the would-be rapist was scared off by two passers-by who came to her aid.
Jones' attorney, Paul Callan, said his client would plead not guilty."Ms. Jones has had a distinguished career as a broadcast journalist and urges all concerned to refrain from jumping to conclusions about the unproven charges against her being discussed in the press," Jones also fills in on "Good Morning America."
Jones said she concocted the story in a plea for sympathy to counter some unknown setback that she was experiencing in her personal life, according to the Post.</div></div>
Let me guess..he was of "medium height and medium build"
