Rape Case Victim Gave False 2005 Report

ATLANTA (AP) - A woman who told police she was kidnapped from an Atlanta street, driven to the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee where she was raped has pleaded guilty twice before to charges she filed false assault reports, a newspaper reported Monday.

Maj. Ron Hunton of the Cherokee County police department told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the 24-year-old woman claimed in 2005 she had been raped in the suburban Atlanta county but wound up pleading guilty to charges that she had made up the story.

Hunton also said the woman later pleaded guilty to making a false report in Fannin County in the north Georgia mountains after telling police she had been stabbed.

She told Tennessee investigators she was jogging in her Atlanta neighborhood last week when she was approached by an acquaintance, tied up and kidnapped. She said she was driven to a cabin in Gatlinburg, Tenn., where she was raped twice, according to the Sevier County Sheriff's Office.

David Jansen of Snellville, Ga., the suspect in last week's attack, told investigators the meeting had been arranged and that the two were on a romantic getaway from their spouses.

Police said the alleged kidnapping was foiled when a pizza deliveryman who brought Jansen dinner several hours later saw the woman and called 911.

Jansen is free on $800,000 bond. He was charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated rape and is scheduled to return to Sevier County for a July 17 court hearing.

His wife filed for divorce on Friday.
