A Montreal-area woman who said she was raped in Longueuil has pleaded guilty to making a false accusation.

Carole Thomas also entered a guilty plea to charges of mischief.

In February 2015 Thomas went public with a story that she been attacked the previous October near a bike path in Longueuil, near where where Jenique Dalcourt was murdered.

She said police were not taking her seriously

At the time, police described her story as suspicious, and that there were no similarities between Thomas's case and Dalcourt's murder.

In June 2015 Thomas was arraigned on four criminal counts.

She was in court Tueday for her preliminary hearing where the evidence against her would have been presented.

Instead she entered her guilty pleas, and apologize toa police officer for making false claims about a botched investigation.
