Innocent Man Spends a Month in Jail Over Rape Claims Made by Woman Who Found Him ‘Creepy’

A Pennsylvania woman admitted last week to fabricating attempted rape allegations against a man who spent a month in jail before his release.

Anjela Urumova, a 20-year-old woman, reported being assaulted from behind at a supermarket in Middletown Township after parking her car. According to WPVI, Urumova said the man punched her in the face, pulled down her pants, and she managed to escape.

Even though Urumova was not able to identify her attacker immediately, she provided details about the man’s pickup truck. License-plate readers showed a similar truck parked a quarter mile away from the store just before the incident in April 2024. Urumova later picked out a suspect from a lineup of two possible individuals. The man she accused owned a pickup truck that matched the description of the one she claimed was used in the assault, as reported by Philly Burbs.

Law & Crime reported that the falsely-accused man was Daniel Pierson, 31, who spent 31 days in jail on $1 million bail.

Subsequently, Pierson, the accused individual, was released from detention on May 17, the same day authorities raised concerns about discrepancies in Urumova’s statement. Following questioning, Urumova admitted to falsely accusing Pierson because she felt uncomfortable around him, Philly Burbs disclosed.

The news outlet reported that Urumova’s story unraveled after Pierson’s family contacted police about contradictory information in this case. Middletown police reviewed surveillance footage which showed the only pickup truck in the parking lot at the time was Urumova’s.

Urumova told police that she planned to admit the allegations were a lie in June, before Pierson’s preliminary hearing.

Urumova pleaded guilty to creating a false alarm, making false reports, and tampering with or fabricating evidence. The judge deferred sentencing to conduct a pre-sentencing investigation.
