Police: Rape Claim Was Unfounded

Monday's rape claim had no validity to it, according to Lt. John Hohmann.

A rape claim made on the 500 block of Glenwood Drive Monday afternoon was found to be invalid, Scotts Valley Police Lt. John Hohmann said.

The rape report came in around 12:20 Monday afternoon and a sergeant stationed at Scotts Valley High School investigated the claim, Hohmann told Patch on Monday.

While the high school is the mammoth campus on the block, Hohmann said that the rape claim did not originate there.
