-- A woman who told police that she was raped on May 1 after leaving a downtown restaurant was charged with false reporting to law enforcement Monday.

Raquel Maxfield told investigators on May 2 that she had been raped by two men after she left a restaurant near Greensboro Avenue and Fourth Street the previous night, said Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit commander Sgt. Dale Phillips.

"During a follow up interview, the victim admitted to lying about the rape and stated that it never occurred," Phillips said in a news release.

Maxfield turned herself in at the Tuscaloosa County Jail and was charged with false reporting to law enforcement Monday. She was released on $1,000 bond.
