In March, 2017, 19-year-old Breana Harmon told authorities that she had been kidnapped and brutally raped by two black men while a third black man "held her down." Police became skeptical of the Texas teens' story when she reportedly kept changing her version of events. Eventually, reports Crime Online, Harmon admitted that she'd made the whole thing up after a fight with her fiance.
According to investigators, Breana Harmon "knew" that her engagement was likely to come to an end after the altercation with her fiance, and she "made up the ordeal" so that her family wouldn't be angry with her. The Caucasian teen even went so far as to cut up her clothing and even herself to make her tale of violent rape at the hands of several African-American males more believable.
After police realized that the so-called "victim" was lying, the Texas 19-year-old found herself facing several felony charges, including tampering with a government record and evidence tampering. Bob Jarvis, Breana Harmon's attorney, claims that his client was sorry for her crimes and that her future plans would be compromised by a felony conviction, so she pleaded guilty in exchange for a plea bargain that would spare her prison time and allow the felony conviction to be removed from her criminal record upon completion of probation.
