(02-26) 18:33 PST REDWOOD CITY -- A San Mateo woman who lied about being sexually assaulted at gunpoint by a group of men after her car supposedly broke down in Foster City was sentenced Tuesday to 90 days in jail for filing a false police report.
Karyn Galila, 24, sobbed in a Redwood City courtroom as Commissioner Kathleen McKenna ordered her taken into custody immediately. Galila was handcuffed as her husband looked on. He tried to hug her before she was led away but was ordered by a bailiff not to touch her.
Galila apparently made up the assault story to explain to her husband why she had come home late after rendezvousing at a restaurant with a man she had recently met online, according to her probation report.
