BAY CITY, MI -- Despite previously indicating he wouldn't do so, a Bay County judge sent a woman to jail for making up a story about being raped in a Delta College parking lot.
Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran on Monday, June 18, sentenced 21-year-old Mary T. Zolkowski to 45 days in jail, with no credit for any time served. Once Zolkowski serves her term, she'll be on probation for two years, during which she is to be tested for drugs and alcohol and participate in substance abuse counseling.
The judge also ordered Zolkowski receive a mental health assessment.
Sheeran deferred an additional 220 days in jail, meaning Zolkowski will only have to serve them if she violates probation.
Zolkowski's sentencing guidelines ranged from zero to six months.

Police interviewed the man Zolkowski named as her assailant. He said he had been with Zolkowski on Feb. 22 and that they had engaged in consensual sexual intercourse. He provided investigators with text messages they had exchanged, in which Zolkowski claims to have been raped by a stranger at Walmart after they had separated. In another message, Zolkowski asks the man not to participate in the police investigation, court records show.

45 days is a joke. She should serve the same sentence a man would have served for rape if her false accusation hadn’t been exposed.
Guy would have gotten 10-20 years probably. She gets 45 days. Boo hoo.
That’s because, far as I know, they are instructed on how to dress etc to win favor with the jury.
Good move by the judge.
A few more charges against women who make false rape charges should stop a lot of it.
Great that the guy still had the text messages.
The sentence should have been longer - and she should have been made to pay the court and law enforcement expenses her false report caused to be incurred.
Its nothing. The guys she lied about were facing 20 years in jail.
She ought to serve the sentence for the crime she lies about. Or in another way, she ouht to serve the sentence those she lied about would have had to serve.
Yep.
Good!
Rocky road? Looks like she ate the whole freeway.
On the road again..........
Feminist Lie: Women never lie about rape.
guilty of false accusation and perjury should get the same sentence as the crime accused
45 days isnt enough to make the point to any other prospective false accusers
She can serve her sentence at my place....
