The morning of September 22, 2017, Cristopher Precopia went to work at a lumber yard in Georgetown. By the end of the day, he was in jail facing 99 years in prison... She said he broke into her home in Temple. She said he sliced an "X" into her chest with a box cutter... On the night of the alleged attack, he was with his mother, Erin, at a Northwest Austin hotel about 65 miles from the accuser's home... There were pictures to prove it, and they were posted on Facebook. Timestamped. Geo-located.

Editor's note: KVUE is not identifying Precopia's accuser because she hasn't been charged with a crime. And there is the root of the problem...

Its rare for a suspect to have an airtight alibi.

Yeah, you caught that, too. She should be sitting in jail.

Ex-girlfriend. Lucky he didn’t marry her.
“She was his high school girlfriend. The two dated several years earlier,”

These false accusers are a nightmare. How can anyone have faith in the justice system? They MUST be charged, for this is a serious crime.

Precopia's accuser told police that the two had a troubled relationship when they dated in high school several years ago, and she cited that as a reason she reported that he assaulted her.Oh, that's all right then ...

Yep she ought to be in jail, she couldn’t have mistaken him for someone else so she should be in jail. That’s an airtight case for the cops!

The time stamp can be modified (meaning falsified) but the GPS coordinates can’t.

Must believe woman!...but evidence!...still woman never lies...but evidence! Gosh this evidence thing is so conflicting!
But seriously, this means she likely carved the pictured ‘X’ in her own chest trying to frame him. This chick is mental.

The time stamp can be modified (meaning falsified) but the GPS coordinates cant. Both can be modified, as well as any picture data or metadata.

How about not reporting the name of the accused unless they are found guilty?
To: bgill
Cops and prosecutors get the same number of brownie points for putting an innocent man away as they do putting a guilty man away, and it’s usually much easier to railroad an innocent man than go through all the trouble of prosecuting a guilty one.

Not just sloppy police work - sheer stupidity
Add a mentally ill or plain evil-intentioned woman, and you have a serious threat to justice.
