She made such a gruesome story about how four men kidnapped her and raped her for two brutal days, firstly starting with her boyfriend whom she sent panicked text messages in March detailing her alleged two days of torture and begging him to pay a ransom, officials said. She even included selfies of herself bound, gagged and bleeding from the head.

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

Two days later, on March 29, she sent her boyfriend the alarming texts. She eventually called him to say that her abductors had dropped her near her home before any ransom was paid. Her boyfriend drove her to a hospital, where she told police of the alleged torturous kidnapping.

Leiha later admitted that she made the entire story up, but it’s still not clear why she lied.

On top of the year in jail, she’ll spend two years on probation and must pay a $1,158 fine.
