Teen admits making up sex assault complaint

A teenage girl has admitted making up a sex attack complaint.

The 19-year-old said she was sexually assaulted in Te Awanga, which is near Hastings, last Monday. She has now admitted making a false complaint.

Detective Senior Sergeant Dave de Lange says it is frustrating, as considerable time and resources were put into investigating the complaint.

The woman has been referred to counselling and a decision is yet to be made whether she will face charges.
