ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orange County Sheriff’s Office just announced that it has arrested the woman who claimed she was raped by several men who work at Walt Disney World. They say the woman made up the story, and that the sex was consensual.
The woman, Elizabeth Sunde, 26, is being charged with making a false police report, WESH NewsChannel 2 reported.
On Feb. 26, police responded to a report of an alleged sexual battery involving multiple suspects.
Sunde told investigators that she was approached by five or six “French men” in her apartment complex at approximately 4 a.m., and said the men physically carried her to the Gables Commons Apartments, where she was held down and sexually battered by at least four men. Sunde stated she returned to her apartment some time after 5 a.m. after the alleged assaults and ultimately went to work. She did not report the incident to the Sheriff’s Office until about 5 p.m., when she returned to her apartment after her work day.
Orange County Sex Crimes Investigator Detective Phillip Graves has determined that Sunde’s account of the incident was not factual and that the sexual encounters were, in fact, consensual. The suspects in the alleged attacks were cooperative with the investigation from its onset to the point of providing a video tape of the incident, which helped corroborate their account of the incident.
Sunde was booked into the Orange County jail Friday, and was was also in possession of a small amount of marijuana at the time of her arrest, and was subsequently charged with possession of marijuana.
