We are not naming the woman because it’s our policy not to name possible sexual assault victims without their consent, but we have learned that at least one thing in the lawsuit is not true; it says she has no criminal history other than minor violations, but court records show the woman has seven outstanding warrants for her arrest.

She has three in Wagoner and two in Osage County, all of those are traffic related. She also has one in Oklahoma County, which is for felony burglary and stolen property, and one in Cherokee County, which is a misdemeanor for filing a false police report.

The Tahlequah Daily Press did a story on that warrant back in May of 2009 that said she accused a man of rape, but when investigators interviewed the man, he had video of the two of them having consensual sex.

When I contacted the woman’s attorney about the warrants he told me, “perhaps that is the reason she was chosen,” by Roberts.

Roberts is on suspension while her claims are being investigated.

According to Roberts' attorney, Gary James, the allegations of rape and the things listed in the lawsuit are not true. He said that the investigation is ongoing and Roberts is cooperating fully. Roberts has not been charged with a crime.
