New Holland police have charged a local woman with filing false reports to law enforcement.

Kimberly Reese

Kimberly Anne Reese, 30, is accused of falsely reporting a rape on Aug. 17, following the purported incident sometime after 9:30 p.m. Aug. 16. Police interviewed the falsely accused man on August 18, where he provided text messages with Reese asking him to come over to her house and if he could provide marijuana, according to charging documents.

The man told police he and Reese drank beers, had consensual sex, and went outside to "play in the rain," according to charging documents. Reese and the man went inside and at some point later, Reese was found passed out in the home. The man told police he picked Reese up and put her in the bed, according to charging documents.



Another person who lives in the home said she saw the man and corroborated his version of the events on August 19, according to charging documents. Reese was again interviewed and told police she lied about the sexual assault, police said.

Reese is charged with a misdemeanor count of making a false report. She was arraigned and released on $10,000 unsecured bail. Online court records do not show her next scheduled court appearance.
