   On March 8, 2017, Breana Harmon Talbott walked into a church in   
   Denison, Texas bloodied and half-naked. She then told church   
   staff that she had just been kidnapped and raped by three black   
   men.   
      
   The news quickly sparked outrage, much of it racially-motivated,   
   from some publishers and social media users.   
      
   But after two weeks, with her story unraveling, Talbott admitted   
   to police that she’d made the whole thing up.   
      
   Now, according to the Herald Democrat, Talbott has pleaded   
   guilty to four felony charges of tampering with physical   
   evidence and government documents — but will receive no jail   
   time.   
      
   Talbott’s story began on March 8, when her then-fiance reported   
   her as a missing person after finding her car abandoned and her   
   belongings on the ground outside their apartment. A few hours   
   later, Talbott walked into the church and made the false rape   
   claims.   
      
   Soon after, she told authorities that three black men in ski   
   masks came up to her in a parking lot, forced her into an SUV   
   and then took her to a wooded area where two of the men raped   
   her while a third held her down. She added that she was cut with   
   a knife when she tried to get away.   
      
   What had actually happened during the several hours in which she   
   was missing was that she went to abandon house to cut herself   
   after getting into a fight with her then-fiance. Fearing that   
   her family would be upset with her over the self-inflicted   
   injuries, she decided to explain them away with her false rape   
   story involving entirely made-up attackers.   
      
   This came to light on March 21 when Talbott admitted as much to   
   investigators who had been growing suspicious after turning up   
   inconsistencies in her story. Within a few days of March 8,   
   medical workers noted that there was no evidence of rape and   
   that “holes in a pair of blue jeans discovered at the alleged   
   crime scene didn’t match her injuries,” wrote Dallas News.   
      
   After Talbott admitted to her lie, so began the criminal   
   proceedings that have now lead to Talbott’s guilty plea.   
      
   “She’s very remorseful for what she did and what she said and   
   that’s why she decided to plead guilty,” Bob Jarvis, Harmon’s   
   attorney, told the Herald Democrat.   
      
   “I don’t want to try the case in the paper — it’ll all come   
   out,” Jarvis added, alluding to some information about Talbott’s   
   personal life that he believes will paint a more sympathetic   
   picture of her during sentencing. “Let’s just say she has some   
   fairly unusual circumstances that I think they’ll be interested   
   to hear about.”   
      
   Sentencing is set for March 20, at which time Talbott will face   
   either probation or deffered adjudication invovling treatment   
   and/or community service of some kind.   
      
   “Of course, we’ll be asking for deferred,” Jarvis said.
