A(Dec. 15) -- Heidi Jones, a weather anchor for ABC's New York City affiliate and an occasional forecaster on "Good Morning America," was suspended today after being arrested for allegedly lying to police about being sexually assaulted.
The WABC-TV weather anchor told police last month that a Hispanic man tried to rape her while she was jogging in Central Park on Sept. 24. But Jones has since admitted making the whole thing up, police told AOL News today. WABC-TV announced the suspension today during a noon broadcast.

her forecast is fair to partly cloudy with a chance of prison and 100% guilty.
Such a pretty girl who seemingly had a bright future ahead of her. I’m shocked and saddened that she had to resort to something like this for whatever the reason. If it’s attention she was seeking, she now has it in spades!
Especially rape stories. Even Allan Dershowitz has suggested up to 10 % of those reported are pure fiction.
Slow breaking news day I guess..
I know a lawyer who picked up a gorgeous young woman at the Christmas party, had sex in his apartment, he left the room for a minute and she disappeared. He’s arrested for rape and was probably destined for ruination and jail, until she left a crying message on his answering machine that she “had to” accuse him in order to explain to her boyfriend why she was missing. Nice huh? Her punishment? Absolutely zero, kept her job at the firm.
This kind of crap always makes me really mad, because there are so many REAL rapes happening, and the victims are all too often not taken seriously. Publicity stunts like this one only make it worse.
Not to mention the police department resources being misused to prop up the ego of this stupid rhymes-with-witch.
I say, fire her, make her pay all costs associated with the investigation into her claim, and throw the book at her. Jail time would be nice, too!
Merry Christmas!!!
I thought being a pathological liar was one of the requirements to work at ABC?
Slut
Naked News has probably called her already...
That’s why ABC isn’t FOX, she never would have made the first cut to be on FOX...
Feminazis have been saying “women don’t lie about rape.”
Will they condemn her? Of course not.
Will Hispanic groups condemn her? Probably, but they are lower down the scale of victimhood, several rungs down under “feminazism.”
Free Julain Assange
Seems you don't have to even hit this one to be charged with hitting it without permission.
Now there are some storm clouds I don’t mind see coming towards my state...
Wow. Nice isobars. Those will sure make the old barometer rise.
I’m trying to figure out why an ABC station would have a problem with a talking head telling lies. What’s up with that?

what’s that? elvis meets the nanny?
Looks like a huge warm front is headed for the east coast!
