Texas woman, 19, who made up a story about being gang raped by black men is sentenced to just probation

  • Breana Rachelle Harmon, 19, was sentenced to eight years of probation, $10,000 in restitution and fines and 160 hours of community service 
  • If she abides, she will be able to say she has never been convicted of a felony
  • Texas woman apologized for her actions, saying she was suffering from depression caused, in part, by loss of her unborn baby  
  • Harmon pleaded guilty last month to falsely claiming that three black men kidnapped and sexually assaulted her 

A 19-year-old Texas woman who made-up a story about being abducted and raped by a group of black men a year ago has been sentenced to probation.

Breana Harmon, of Denison, learned her fate on Tuesday, just weeks after pleading guilty to two counts of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and two counts of tampering with government records.

A Grayson County judge sentenced Harmon to eight years of deferred-adjudication probation and ordered her to pay a total of $10,000 in restitution and court fines.

On top of that, the 19-year-old will have to perform 160 hours of community service as part of her punishment, reported the Herald Democrat.

If Harmon abides by the conditions of her probation, after eight years she will be able to say she has never been convicted of a felony, even though her record will always include her guilty plea.

When given a chance to speak at her sentencing hearing, Harmon said that at the time of the incident, she suffered from depression that was brought on by the loss of her unborn baby and relationship troubles. She also apologized to police and the community for lying.

Her therapist told the court she does not seems to be racist, referring to the fact that Harmon initially told police her bogus attackers were black.

On March 8, 2017, Harmon showed up at a local church. She was bloodied and wearing just a shirt, bra and underwear and claimed to have been gang raped.

She later told police that she was abducted by ‘three black males’ in ski masks at her apartment before they took her to the woods near the church and took turns raping her while one of them held her down.

Within just a few days of the incident, detectives said Harmon’s story started to fall apart.

One of the biggest holes in the story was the fact that medical professionals who examined Harmon at the hospital were unable to find evidence she was sexually assaulted.

Officers also combed the alleged crime scenes and didn’t find anything backing up the crime.

‘We believe the crime scene – from the initial “kidnapping” scene at the apartment complex to the point of Harmon’s condition when she walked into the church – were staged,’ Police Chief Jay Burch said.

Harmon eventually came clean to the police that she staged the hoax and that her wounds were self-inflicted.

A police report at the time stated ‘Breana Harmon Talbott’s hoax was also insulting to our community and especially offensive to the African-American community due to her description of the so-called suspects in her hoax. The anger and hurts caused from such a hoax are difficult and so unnecessary.’
