Michigan Woman Who Lied, Saying 4 Black Men Kidnapped, Raped Her, Receives Prison Time After Failed Escape

Leiha Ann-Sue Artman (Muskegon, Mich., Jail)

You’d think that lying about being kidnapped and raped by four black men, and then only receiving a year in fake “jail” for the fabricated story, would have been more than enough reason for Leiha Ann-Sue Artman to get her life together. But apparently it wasn’t, because she’s been sentenced to an additional 13 months to four years in prison for resisting and obstructing police.

In 2016, Artman concocted the kidnapping story that included her being thrown into the trunk of a car and raped, and her boyfriend even received fake text messages demanding a ransom. She was then sentenced to a year in an alternative jail program. Well, now she’s heading to the big pokey, according to MLive.

Artman apparently violated the alternative jail’s parole orders and was taken into custody. But during an October hospital visit under police supervision, Artman tried to make a run for it.

“Ms. Leiha Ann-Sue Artman was transported from the Muskegon County Jail to Hackley Hospital based upon information provided by her indicating that she may have been sexually assaulted prior to arriving at the jail,” Muskegon County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Timothy Maat explained.

Of course, Artman’s escape was foiled, and now the 27-year-old says that her life and drug addiction are spiraling out of control.

A Michigan woman who said that four black men kidnapped, raped and beat her for two days will spend a year behind bars for making the incident up, MLive.com reports.

Leiha Ann-Sue Artman, 25, pleaded guilty to making a false report of a felony, a crime punishable by up to four years. MLive reports that even though Artman has a considerable rap sheet, the judge did not send her to prison, so she will do her year in the county jail.

Artman told investigators that she had been kidnapped March 27, when four black men snatched her from her driveway and threw her in the trunk of their car. She claimed that the foursome drove her to an unknown location, where they repeatedly raped and beat her.

The Fruitland Township, Mich., woman kept the farce going by sending her boyfriend text messages that included selfies of herself bound, gagged and bleeding from the head. She begged the boyfriend to pay the “ransom” the kidnappers were asking for.

Artman eventually called the boyfriend to say that her abductors had dropped her near her home. He drove her to a hospital, where she told police of the fabricated kidnapping. She later admitted that she had made the entire story up.


Artman is the not the first white person who accused black men of some heinous harm or crime and turned out to be lying. From Susan Smith and Charles Stuart to the Emmett Till and Scottsboro Boys cases, this country’s history is littered with these notorious and fabricated situations, sometimes leading to death for the falsely accused.

In addition to jail, Artman will be placed on probation for two years and will pay a fine of $1,158.
