False assault charge for teenager

Police have charged a teenage girl with making a false complaint, after she claimed she was sexually assaulted in a Christchurch park.

The young woman told police she was attacked by a naked man at a toilet block in Sydenham Park just before 4.30am Saturday.

Detective Sergeant William McIvor says they have interviewed a man about the allegation.

But he says they have now charged the 18-year-old girl with making a false complaint.
