Mich. woman gets prison for false rape report
Sara Ylen was accused of creating a story about two men attacking her at her Lexington home in 2012. The jury also convicted her of tampering with evidence.

PORT HURON, Mich. — A judge sentenced a "tormented and disturbed" Michigan woman to at least five years in prison Friday for falsely accusing two men of rape, a punishment that came just days after she pleaded no contest to a cancer scam in a separate case that also challenged her credibility.

St. Clair County Judge Daniel Kelly exceeded the guidelines, saying it would be a "travesty of justice" to sentence Sara Ylen to less.
