Court documents show how law enforcement found Natalie Green in the woods.

A New Jersey woman who was found bound with zip ties in the woods and marked with a derogatory phrase referencing President Donald Trump is now accused of staging the attack.

Natalie Greene, 26, is charged with conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and making false statements to federal law enforcement.

According to court documents, Greene and a co-conspirator called 911 late July 23 and claimed that three men had attacked them on a trail at the Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve. The co-conspirator told dispatchers the men referenced Greene by name and mentioned her job in politics. According to reports, Greene previously worked for a Republican congressman.

Police found Greene lying off the trail with her hands and feet bound with black zip ties and her shirt tied over her head. She had lacerations on her face, neck, chest and shoulder, and phrases written on her body, including derogatory terms toward Republicans.

Greene told officers the men had threatened to shoot her.

But investigators later concluded Greene had staged the attack, alleging she paid a body modification artist earlier to make it look like she was injured. Officers also found zip ties in Greene’s vehicle similar to those used on her, and the co-conspirator’s phone had been used two days earlier to search “zip ties near me."

Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

She “was” a law student. She just dumped her law career down the toilet.

Look up Ashley Todd. She pulled the same crap in 2008.

Or look up the mother of hoaxes, Tawana Brawley.

Throw the book,at them.

We need to have more charges/crimes against lying. Setting people up. Lying about serious things to deprive others of freedom and destroying reputations, setting up people about crimes they didn’t do. Not just charges lying to government, but also lying charges the other party so they can collect damages and push for jail,time. Punitive damages and jail time, basically the person(s) needs to get all the maximum sentences the framed person was facing.

Dont care if man or woman, don’t care about age.

Criminals are lazy, this would have required too much effort and no tangible payoff.
