A Montgomery County woman faces perjury and other charges for allegedly lying about being sexually assaulted by a Lower Merion police officer.
Gabrielle P. Drexler, 26, announced at a May Lower Merion board meeting than she’d been assaulted by an officer. But as the Main Line Times reports, a grand jury has determined Drexler lied about the assault and manufactured emails she said the accused officer sent her.
