A False Accuser Has Been Sentenced to Jail
But her punishment and official reactions to her crime are patently inadequate.

Anjela Borisova Urumova of Bristol Township, Pennsylvania [pictured above], was recently sentenced for a false allegation of sexual assault against Daniel Pierson, a 41-year-old man from Lower Makefield Township.
Urumova, 20, had claimed that Pierson tried to kidnap her in a parking lot on the evening of April 16th 2024, allegedly grabbing her from behind, punching her, attempting to pull her pants down, and dragging her towards his vehicle in the Redner’s grocery store lot.
She provided a detailed description of her claimed assailant, later picking him out of a police lineup. Pierson was charged with multiple felony offences and jailed.
The entire encounter, however, was a fabrication. Urumova had never met Pierson and had no reason to accuse him. She had seen him in the parking lot previously and found him “creepy.” I wrote about the story in detail here.
Now she has at last been sentenced, receiving a jail term of “45 days to 23 months” in the Bucks County jail.
That will mean, I presume, that if she stays out of trouble and says the right things to corrections officers, she will be a free woman in about six weeks.
The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office details other punishments:
“In addition to the county jail sentence, Common Pleas Judge Stephen A. Corr sentenced the defendant to one year of probation and ordered her to undergo a mental health evaluation, have no contact with the victim or his family and pay $3,600 in restitution to the victim.”
Well, it’s something, but not much.
Urumova will spend little more time in jail than did the man she falsely accused. The $3,600 restitution might as well be nothing for all the good it will do. As a rape claimant, Urumova would have been entitled to up to $35,000 from the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape Victims Compensation Assistance program. It’s not clear if Daniel Pierson is entitled to anything.
