TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Authorities are no longer investigating an alleged sexual assault said to have occurred near the University of Alabama late Thursday night after the woman admitted she fabricated the story.



The University of Alabama Police Department reported Friday morning that a woman had been pushed into a sedan where three men tried to sexually assault her. They asked for any available information in the case as their investigation continued.



Later the same day, UAPD posted an update to their original release saying that the account had been faked.



"The victim in this advisory admitted to investigators that the incident described below did not occur," the update said. "The report was fabricated. The investigation into this case has been closed."
