A Michigan college student is facing up to four years in prison after lying to authorities about being raped.
RadarOnline.com has learned Mary Zolkowski, 21, pleaded guilty to fabricating her bizarre sexual assault story and was immediately sentenced to 45 days behind bars.
Initially, the woman told her mother she had been raped in the parking lot of her Bay County school, Delta College. She then changed her story, to say she was raped inside her car by a man who choked her. She said she couldn't see the man's face but he penetrated her without a condom.
While medical professionals offered to treat her, the student refused a physical exam.
During another interrogation, Zolkowski changed her story once again, saying that the man who raped her was actually an acquaintance and the incident occurred in her apartment.
Afterwards, she told police that she had actually been having consensual sex with a man and meant to tell him to stop, but it all ended before she could.
"I called Delta College and falsely reported the rape on their campus. My mother made the initial call and I took the phone and continued to report," the woman told the judge during her latest hearing.
According to MLive.com, Zolkowski was ordered to receive a mental health assessment by Judge Joseph Sheeran. Apart from facing up to four years in jail, the troubled female student will also serve two years of probation after she finishes her time. She will then be tested for drugs and alcohol and take part in substance abuse counseling.
Mary Zolkowski was fined $2,000 and is still awaiting her prison sentence.
