Texas teenager pleaded guilty to multiple charges of tampering with or fabricating evidence after her previous claims of getting raped fell apart.

On March 8, 2017, Breana Rachelle Harmon, 19, walked into a church in her hometown of Pottsboro wearing only a shirt, bra, and underwear. She had cuts and scratches on her body. She claimed three black men came to her in a parking lot, forced her into an SUV, and drove her to a wooded area where two of the men raped her.
