Jody Mary Ryan from Fort Myers, Florida, hoped to cover her tracks and appease her angry husband by telling police her lover – her husband’s best friend – had raped her.
Jody Mary Ryan, 18, is the one in jail, arrested on a charge of making a false police report, after investigators discovered her sex assault claims were bogus, cops said.
Jody Mary Ryan later confessed her husband, Mahmoud Koush, 27, put her up to making the phony claims when he found out about the extra-marital tryst. It was his way of getting back at his adulterous pal.
Police say Mahmoud Koush called cops and reported his friend had touched his wife inappropriately.
When police and paramedics arrived at Jody Mary Ryan’s house, she told officers the man had raped her and that she didn’t want her husband to find out.

The woman claimed her husband’s best friend had forced himself on her at a hotel in Fort Myers.
But staff at the hotel said she seemed perfectly amicable when the pair rented a room there.
And nurses who examined Jody Mary Ryan for signs of sexual assault at Gulf Coast Hospital said she never made any comments about being raped.
The woman was only concerned about whether she was pregnant, police said.
And then there was the surveillance video.
Cops say video footage shows Jody Mary Ryan showing up at her lover’s workplace and throwing a ring he gave her because she was upset her husband found out.
When cops confronted her, Jody Mary Ryan admitted that Mahmoud Koush had put her up to the phony rape claims.
Jody Mary Ryan said Mahmoud Koush found out about the two-week affair between the couple and was furious.
Two 12-year-old students from Florida faced a police investigation for a sex crime after being caught kissing at an elementary school in Fort Myers.
Police were called to Orange River Elementary School in Fort Myers after an assistant principal was told the pair had exchanged a playground kiss.
But after officers responded to the emergency call they declined to take any action saying no offence had been committed.
Now the two students parents have accused the school of over-reacting and taking political correctness to a new level.
Two 12-year-old students from Florida faced a police investigation for a sex crime after being caught kissing at an elementary school in Fort Myers
According to local reports two girls who had a crush on a boy were talking about which of them liked him the most.
One of the girls approached the boy and briefly kissed him.
A teacher on duty noticed the kiss and reported it to the assistant principal Margaret Ann Haring.
Assistant principal said it was a “possible sex crime” and called social workers at the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF).
DCF told her to report the matter to the Lee County Sheriff’s office who responded by sending deputies to the school.
After talking with teachers no action was taken as no crime had been committed.
Assistant principal Margaret Ann Haring told police officers there is an ongoing involvement with DCF.
Police spokesman Sgt Stephanie Eller:
“They went ahead and took a report and documented this because we don’t know at this point whether or not there is bigger picture that somebody needs to be looking at.”
“We had been called because one of the teachers observed what they thought was inappropriate behaviour.”
Sgt Stephanie Eller added that the kiss was not a sex crime.
“‘This incident is more of a simple assault, though by definition there would have to be a victim,” she said.
It is not reported that the boy objected to being kissed.
The two children involved in the kissing were spoken to by the school principal Holly Bell.
Holly Bell said: “Two girls were guessing who was each other’s boyfriend.”
Parents at the school believe the principal overreacted by calling police.
“How I behaved when I was 12 and most of the kids that I knew, yes its exploratory,” said parent John McDaniel.
“A kiss between 12-year-olds, I would say is relatively harmless.”
Others writing in the local newspaper were outrage by the police getting involved.
One parent wrote: “Whatever happened to common senses.”
While another commented: “Principal Margaret Ann Haring needs to be fired immediately.
“It is pretty obvious she is out of touch and clueless. Two little kids kissing is a Sex Act? What an idiot.”
