    Statistics and specifics on crime in America.

(AP)  A woman whose lie about being raped kept an innocent man behind bars for almost two years is now in jail herself.

Armand Villasana, 54, was jailed for rape from 1998 until 2000, when his conviction was overturned based on DNA evidence. His accuser, Judith Lummis, admitted Aug. 7 that she made up the rape to cover up an extramarital affair.

The statute of limitations prevented Lummis from being charged with perjury. But on Friday, Lummis, 41, turned herself in after her probation was revoked last week. She will serve a four-year prison term imposed in 1998, when she pleaded guilty to fraudulently attempting to obtain prescription diet pills.

Lummis was put on probation after pleading guilty to the charge in April 1998, with a suspended four-year sentence.

On Sept. 16, 1998, Lummis reported being kidnapped from a Sonic Drive-In, forced to drive to a wooded area and raped. Greene County detectives and prosecutors said she was so convincing they had little reason to doubt her story.

Even Villasana's defense attorney, Gary Wilson, said he believed Lummis was a victim.

"I never doubted that she was raped. I doubted that Armand did it." Wilson said.

Assistant Greene County Prosecutor Jill Patterson, who prosecuted the case, said Lummis was articulate and appeared credible.

"It was pretty amazing," Patterson said. "Any concerns I had about the case were always dispelled by her."

When Villasana was arrested nine days after the supposed rape on an unrelated charge, he became a suspect even though no physical evidence tied him to the crime and Lummis' description of her assailant differed from Villasana in age, height, weight and speech patterns.

But a composite sketch was "freakishly similar to Armand," said Wilson.

And Lummis identified Villasana in what authorities admit was a biased photo line-up - Villasana was the only Hispanic pictured.

In later months, Lummis remained steadfast in her accusations.

"She was just so adamant and so forceful that it was him," Wilson said. "Looking back at what we know now, she had so many outs ... She could have said, 'Well, maybe it's not him.'"

Villasana was convicted Nov. 10, 1999, but freed seven months later.

Lummis continued to insist Villasana was responsible, but her story started to unravel shortly after his release.

Probation violations based on drug use and forgery charges began to pile up, and she filed for divorce in March 2001. In court records, Lummis admitted struggling with methamphetamine addiction.

Her probation was revoked in October, 2002, and she was jailed until May 2003 after spending 120 days in an institutional treatment center. She pleaded guilty to a reduced charge in the forgery case and was sentenced to probation and community service.

Patterson said prosecutors were aware of Lummis' struggle with drugs.

"It is very normal for rape victims to have that kind of downward spiral," Patterson said. "That didn't necessarily put me on notice."

Meanwhile, an automated database search in November 2005 found a match for the DNA profile that freed Villasana in 2000. It took more than a year for the match with a Missouri inmate to be confirmed.

Detective Allen Bayer learned in February that Lummis had filed a kidnapping report - later found to be false - in Aurora in 2005 that was similar to the report filed in the Villasana case.

Lummis also faced charges in Christian County for failing to pay child support and two new charges of forgery in Lawrence County. She was arrested March 24 and admitted relapsing on methamphetamine.

But during two interviews with Bayer, Lummis stuck by her story of being raped.

When Bayer met with the inmate whose DNA matched the material gathered from the 1998 rape examination he said he and Lummis had been having a consensual affair. The inmate has not been identified.

Lummis had been cited in June for testing positive for methamphetamine and for lying about where she was living. And her probation officer found she was dating a convicted felon.

But Lummis didn't confess until Aug. 7. Her probation was revoked Aug. 24.

Perjury that results in the imprisonment of the accused should not be subject to a statute of limitations. The minimum sentence imposed should be the amount of time the falsely accused spent in prison plus one day.

And crystal gail mangun is free! How very nice. Would one of the libs tell us why this woman is still free? I know, because the accused had the nerve to be white and have enough money to go to Duke. Therefore, they must pay.

the statute of limitations should not exist on any crime that can put someone away for any length of time!! Think of the people in prison that are there because DNA hasn''t been found to free them. These kind of people who perjure themselves and send someone to prison should do the same time the innocent people ended up with as a result. But remember, our laws have a focus...to isolate and retain whatever segment of the population they want to be rid of at the time. Justice has nothing to do with it.

These kind of stories make me ill because it makes it hard on all the women who get raped. I was raped when I was very young by my brother-in-law and I knew that if I talked they would call me a lier so I never came forward and that went on for nine (9) years. So one day to more specific a Christmas Day I just decided to tell my family and you know what their reaction was? One of sisters told me I was lier and the other one the one her husband did it to me told me that I made a mess of her life.
I lost my first husband because of that I nearly lost my second husband but thank God I got help and I did not lose him. But my brother-in-law is running free as a bird as a priest.
This woman is sick she knew from the start he was not guilty of this but she wanted someone in jail so she picked him. She not only needs to go to jail she needs to get some serious help. How could she do that to someone without even thinking about it. That is really sick, I feel so very badly for him because he will never get rid of that title off of his head he just will not.
MAY GOD BLESS THIS INNOCENT MAN BECAUSE HE REALLY NEEDS HIM AND I AM SURE HE WILL!!!

GET A LIFE!

The Duke woman was DATED RAPED by the drugged, drunk, and disorderly, pale preppy punks!

That woman was DRUGGED and have objects shoved inside her.

That is why the drugged, drunk, and disorderly pale preppy punks will not sue: THEY ARE TOO HAPPY TO BE LET OFF SO EASILY, and to have the sympathy of brain dead bigots like yourself!

The original statement of the Date Raped woman''s associate was quite telling until she was intimidated/paid off to change her story on behalf of the drugged, drunk and disorderly dumb jocks and pale preppy punks of Duke.

Would you have preferred if the brother-in-law did not have a ''hard on''? LOL

And how old were you anyway; because there''s nothing wrong in sharing a man with your sister. After all, he''s just a man; and you are sisters.

No one does more for African-Americans than Agnim. Sharpton & Jesse should hire you.

Agnim is always ready to defend blacks regardless of whether they''re innocent or guilty. Whites are always evil devils. Blacks are always pure angels.

The stripper was on a date? No. She was just looking for a little hush money to pay off her credit card debts, bills, etc. This kind of thing happens from time to time: false accusations of rape. There is a another story about that right here at CBS News. DNA proved
the man didn''t rape the woman.

Agnim then why did Sharpton and Jackson back off. They are pitt bulls when it comes to defending a high profile case of discrimination. They backed off and fell off because the w...hor..e lied. They don''t have the integrity to step up and say they got played by one of their own, so they slink away until another cause for tooting their own horns comes up again. She was up to no good, and thought she could play some stupid rich white kids. She really thought she hit pay dirt when Sharpton started spouting his garbage on her behalf. Face it...this one was for real...a wh..ore who got played.

I am so tired of women using the "rape" excuse to cover up something that happened. It makes it that much harder for someone to believe a woman, when it really does happen. It is a horrible, horrible experience that leaves you scarred for life and anyone who lies about it should be put through it to see how damaging it really is.

I was raped and no one believed me and it is women like her that make that so. It makes me sick.

with all the knowledge we have to day on DNA no women who was rape should clean up after her self untill sample were taken from her body that include hair etc this way they have the evidence to convict the right person I am a man so I would have no idea what it like to be raped but I can only imagine the horror that might travel through the women mind like will he kill me when he is finished with me so when a wome makes a false claim she should be prosecuted and sent to jail if found guilty and statues of limitation should not be placed on her lies if some one go to jail for it

Men are at the complete mercy of a womens testimony. Society rules in favor of women when it comes to taking a womens word over a mans, the reason why does not matter! All men can do is be very careful and hope for the best when disputes break out or even if disputes don''t break out, men are at the mercy of the mood of the women. In addition if the women is attractive and the men helping her think they have a shot at a date or just a friendship that could possibly lead to a date, the accused man is "finished", especially if the caring rescuing male is trying to impress the female manipulator by playing Mr. Hero! Many women are warm, kind, harmless and nice, it''s never good to stereotype but an equal number of women are gold-digging, flirtatious, game-playing, entrapment setting, revenge-seeking, career destroying ladder climbers and I won''t even introduce the "race" factor into all of this because that takes the aforementioned to another level altogether, because in cases involving "race" the women is now playing 2 cards, women versus man and cultured women versus man, the one two punch. In the work place with it''s own set of rules it''s even worst, more manipulated and magnified. Men don''t have a chance, none.

You folks hiding under rocks for some reason when a woman cries foul the man is a dirtbag period and the case is closed it''s done every day. We have ladies murdering there husbands and get days not years. This is a total female issue and if a man says anything he''s suspect. For some reason men have lost thier rights yes there are a-wholes and should be hung at the town square, But the abuse rape claim has become a free ticket. Shes not going to prison for false testimony shes going for lying to get drugs.

One does not have to DATE RAPE woman with a dik and your ''DNA''.
Anything that has the form of a phallus will do.

The woman at Duke was DRUGGED according to the earlies report of her associate before she was intimidated/or bought off to change her original account!
The Duke woma couldn''t be sure what those drunk, drugged and disorderly pale preppy punks shoved inside. She only knew she was raped by those bigoted white supremacist thugs, who issued their racist statements during the SEXUAL ASSAULT WITH AT FOREIGN OBJECT!

Why did not the drunk, drugged, and disorderly Duke preppy punks SUE when they would have been closer to the FACTS OF THE CASE THAN EITHER SHARPTON OR JACKSON?

The racist and dumb DUKE jocks did not SUE because they are AFRAID THE DETAILS OF THEIR DATE RAPE WITH DRUGS AND A FOREIGN OBJECT WOULD COME TO LIGHT!

First of all, Mangum has a PROBLEM WITH DRUGS along with a problem with the truth.
No addict can be trusted, especially when she herself admitted that is an ADDICT an a liar.

I''m not even sure prison alone is the place for Gail Mangled Mind.

And, you are too ''simple of mind'' to appreciate who may mate whom.

She, on the other hand could have sued the preppies...but quietly slinked back to her greasy pole. Why? She fouled the whole case with her grimy presence and lies. Facts may have been buried that should have come out, had she not lied to begin with and forced everything to a stand still. She is the one who got played, and the sad fact is, she might have been able to do something had she been honest from the beginning about what really happened. Once you are proven to be a liar about any point, everything else is questionable. But I appreciate your ability to admit Sharpton s..rewed the pooch too.

I happen to work in an environment where women are in total control, hold every key management position, where the tables have turned completely against men, where I see a clear example of what happens when women take over "LIVE" in real-time! It''s a nightmare more about settling old scores, keeping men down, getting revenge and entertaining every female complaint in the extreme, where saying "Hello" or "Good Morning" can be considered Sexual Harassment. So shut up, you don''t know what you''re talking about, p.u.s.s.y my a.s.s, I only hope you get a sneak preview of this nightmare where you work if you even have job to start with!

The drugged, drunk and disorderly pale preppy punks, the dumb jocks of Duke could sue a host of people including that African woman.
But they WILL NOT sue that woman; because any attorney with an ounce of sense is going to really research the DUKE DATE RAPE WITH DRUGS AND A FOREIGN OBJECT!

The reason the woman may not sue is that she already is witnessing what the racist in-justice system at work, in which the incompetence prevents someone from recognizing that

A DRUGGED WOMAN CANNOT CLEARLY TELL WHO EXACTLY RAPED HER AND WITH WHAT OBJECT!

DNA MEANS NOTHING WHEN IT IS AN OBJECT THAT WAS SHOVED INTO THE WOMAN AT DUKE!

But in a trial, those pale preppy punks would have to have their stories organized and airtight for a good attorney to not poke holes in their lies and racist disposition at the time of the DRUGGED DATE RAPE!

What is this nonsense, here we go again, a white woman falsely accuses a Hispanic man of rape, this sounds like "white wash" when white women wantonly falsely accused black men of rape to cover up their infidelities, of which innocent black men found themselves hanging from a tree branch.

I thought they[white folks] stopped this nonsense a long time ago, can''t believe this racist BS is still occurring, and typically the police believed her.

This is an injustice, Armand Villasana served two years in prison for a crime he didn''t commit of which, because the "statue of limitation" had ran out they can''t prosecute her for this bogus feloniousness, the legal system pulled that rabbit out of its hat to spare this lying piece of *** prison time.

At least they should monetarily compensate him for the two years taken from his life, they certainly haven''t considered the family depending upon his financial and moral support.

This is appalling, it''s going to be interesting to see how many white posters express vehemence and disgust for her outrageous-feloniousness as they did in the Duke case..

sbbm, you are the EPITOME of a non-logical thinking human being and a racial pandering termite, of course you couldn''t resist bringing up the Duke case, Oh how typical, of which proves my point.

All I had to do is give individuals like you enough rope to "hang" yourselves, and yes after reading and listening to some white folks vehemently castigate the black stripper for "coughing" up false allegations of rape against the upstanding righteous Duke "boys", I had to step back to see if the "outrage" would extend across the board, well you proved me right.

You just couldn''t resist mentioning the black "stripper" in the Duke case and how she railroaded these innocent young white men, well at least they weren''t convicted, and yes Green County should compensate Armand Villasana considering they had failed to get an "DNA sample", which would have cleared him, like in the "Duke" case.

No, instead they took the word of a lying adulteress, because she was white, of which they failed to do their jobs, and convicted an innocent man sending him to prison.

And yes this case is typical of many past cases, in which black men were falsely accused of raping white women, however, the outcome was a lot more violent and bleak research history.

This case "wreaks" racism, because like past cases which had involved black men the authorities took the word of the white accuser without merit or investigating further, because of course white folks don''t "lie", "Villasana was arrested nine days after the supposed rape on an unrelated charge, he became a suspect even though no physical evidence tied him to the crime and Lummis'' description of her assailant differed from Villasana in age, height, weight and speech patterns".

IF IT SMELLS, WALKS, AND TALKS LIKE A DUCK, GUESS WHAT, IT''S A "DUKE".

The only remedy for Villasana is for him to sue the State for all he possibly can. This will not really compensate him but it is a start. The police and prosecutors involved must be held fully accountable.
This was a railroad job. A public apology from each person involved must be made.

Forgot to mention she''s a drug addict, and the authorities found her accusations credible, where are they from "Mars".

This woman is a lying cheating drug addict that abused the system by falsely accusing this man because the "let''s blame the black man syndrome" has faded, so now it''s open season on Hispanic males..

And where is Sharpton and Jackson, along with outraged Hispanics over this travesty, this is a blatant case of racism, you white folks do remember the Boston case and Susan Smith, with so many other cases of false accusations against minority men.

The Hispanic community should be up in arms and demand the disbarment of this prosecutor, like Nifong, in the Duke case..

It is obvious that this man was so "railroaded", by a lying manipulating piece of drug addicted trash...

The Duke woman was DATED RAPED by the drugged, drunk, and disorderly, pale preppy punks!
That''s right, pick on the rich kids...they are rich, so they obviously raped her, even though she couldn''t recall in penetration occured and NO DNA evidence found on her connecting these 3 men, however evidence of 5 other men previously.

That woman was DRUGGED and have objects shoved inside her.
And there was evidence for this? Why was the case dismissed after she kept changing her story, the girl who came to strip with her would not back up her complaint.

That is why the drugged, drunk, and disorderly pale preppy punks will not sue: THEY ARE TOO HAPPY TO BE LET OFF SO EASILY, and to have the sympathy of brain dead bigots like yourself!
You must really have an inferiority complex. Did the rich kids not let you play when you were a kid?

The original statement of the Date Raped woman''''s associate was quite telling until she was intimidated/paid off to change her story on behalf of the drugged, drunk and disorderly dumb jocks and pale preppy punks of Duke.

Or maybe, she realized there was not any evidence to support the testimony, and realized that she would be jailed for perjury, or giving a false statement and got scared.

OMG - this is horrible - how on earth could this woman do that to this guy - she knew what would happen to him in prison. She purposely sent a guy to prison for a rape she knew didn''''t happen and she knew the guy was an innocent man.

There isn''''t a prison horrible enough for this woman.

What is this nonsense, here we go again, a white woman falsely accuses a Hispanic man of rape, this sounds like "white wash" when white women wantonly falsely accused black men of rape to cover up their infidelities, of which innocent black men found themselves hanging from a tree branch.
First off, put away your race card. Women of many races can and do accuse men of many races of rape, assault, sexual harrassment.

This is an injustice, Armand Villasana served two years in prison for a crime he didn''''t commit of which, because the "statue of limitation" had ran out they can''''t prosecute her for this bogus feloniousness, the legal system pulled that rabbit out of its hat to spare this lying piece of *** prison time.
Reread the article, he was already in prison on an unrelated case, and just happend to resemble the description she had given.

This is appalling, it''''s going to be interesting to see how many white posters express vehemence and disgust for her outrageous-feloniousness as they did in the Duke case..
She should be in prison, for the flase accusation, not just the drugs, but Twana Braley and Crystal Gail also.

Because although what Twana Braley and Crystal Gail did was reprehensible the law did eventually work in both cases, unlike this one where an innocent man was tried, convicted, and imprisoned for a crime %u201Che%u201D didn%u2019t commit.

Bringing up random cases and isolated incidents of psychologically combative black women that have filed bogus charges to support an argument which has absolutely no merit in this case only demonstrates the depravity of racism that still exist in this country, these isolated incidents of black women filing false allegations against white males is an anomaly, of which it doesn%u2019t even scratch the surface of the numerous of false allegations of rape that have been filed against black males, by white women.

And now I see since the %u201Clet%u2019s blame the black man for bogus rape charges%u201D has exhausted itself the blame has been shifted to Hispanic men, so history lives on and on.

This guy was railroaded because he was Hispanic, in which the law demonstrated it%u2019s %u201Ctrue%u201D colors of racial bigotry, because why didn%u2019t law enforcement take DNA samples from both the alleged victim and perpetrator, which would have exonerated him, as oppose of simply accepting the word of a drugged meth-user, liar, and theft. .

I agree with you 300% both Twana Braley and Crystal Gail should have been prosecuted for reporting false allegations and imprisoned, however, if you%u2019re making comparisons provide %u201Ccredible%u201D subjects, in neither case was any alleged victim convicted for this rouse, so there is no comparison between these three incidents.
