HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — The report of an abduction from Holland State Park is false, according to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Capt. Mark Bennett.
“Follow-up interviews with the victim revealed that she was not in Ottawa County on June 5,” Bennett wrote in a statement emailed to media, adding, “in fact an assault did take place but not in the area of the Holland State Park nor in Ottawa County.”
Investigators believe the 23-year-old woman may have been assaulted in the Kalamazoo area, noted the victim recently met the suspect on a social-media dating site.
The police investigation continues. It’s unclear if the assault survivor will face any false-report charges.
