Spectacular rape story collapses in Tucson court
A 17 year old complainant admitted her rape charges against Seaman Roy Ray Marcum of Norma Tennessee and Seaman Perry Baker of Roanoke Alabama were a hoax. Justice of the Peace Clark H Johnson dismissed all three counts for lack of evidence or jurisdiction after the girl testified and admitted the charges were false. The case arose from a downtown Tucson kidnapping and rape tale that captivated the city last week, prompting a police search and a shift in the investigation once the truth emerged.
