A McNeese State University student who reported a forcible rape is now in jail, after admitting to making the whole thing up.

Kolbie Wade, 18, picked out her alleged attacker from a photo lineup. 19-year-old college student Tyler Leger was arrested and charged with forcible rape.

After witness interviews, charges were dismissed and Leger was released from the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center earlier this month.

Wade is now charged with criminal mischief. She's out of jail on bond.
