Nun Lied About Rape To Cover Up Consensual Sex Romp: Report

EAST FLATBUSH, N.Y. (WPIX) —

A Brooklyn nun who claimed she was the victim of a brutal rape is now recanting her story, telling police she made the whole thing up to cover up a consensual sexual encounter with a bodega worker.

According to police, the nun -- identified as 26-year-old Mary Turcotte -- told authorities she was attacked by a towering black man on the night of Jan. 22 as she made her way to the Apostles of Infinite Love convent on Glenwood Ave. in East Flatbush.

It turns out that the incident never happened and Turcotte was attempting to deter attention away from a real sex romp that reportedly happened inside the Brooklyn convent, sources told the New York Daily News.

"Nothing happened, none of it," a woman who answered the door at the convent told the News Tuesday. "It was all proven to be false. It wasn't her fault. She is going to move out and we are going to get her some help."

It was a far cry from what Turcotte told police nearly a week earlier.

Turcotte claimed the alleged attacker ambushed her before choking her to unconsciousness. The man then reportedly dragged her eight blocks. Authorities immediately grew suspicious of her story considering Turcotte was donning a habit at the time of the apparent attack and found it difficult to believe that it didn't catch the eyes of passersby, the News reported.

The nun told detectives she woke up in a snowbank with her breasts exposed and underwear pulled down to her ankles. The attack was reported to police on Thursday.

Authorities immediately put out an alert searching for a black man between 40-50 years old, approximately 6' 4" and 250 pounds, as described by Turcotte. The search was called off after the nun came clean about her dirty, little lie.

It wasn't immediately clear if the nun will face criminal charges.

Finally, nun abusers make the news!  I met a lovely woman a decade ago, her home fully decorated for Xmas.  She played piano like an angel.  I suggested we go to Xmas mass. She blanched & went dumb in a panic. Come to find out she was a musical prodigy sent to a all girls Catholic convent school & "favored" by the headmistress nun of the music program and sexually molested for two years.  At age 16 my friend said she finally got the nerve to report the assaults to the Mother Superior who actually believed my friend.  Sadly, the nun was predictably moved. 2 shocking results: first the Mother Superior retired as planned and her replacement Mother Superior took up where the offending nun left off and continued to molest my friend until she could legally leave the convent at age 18 and secondly, the other dismissed nun stalked my friend for 30 YEARS!  Phone calls, letters, showing up where my friend was, coming to her home no matter where she lived.  I don't think my friend called the cops.  I think she was too ashamed.  I believe the nun finally passed away as she was 20-30 years older than my friend,Always sorry to see the male priests take the heat when I've know this stroy for 12 years.  Carol, where ever you are, I hope you've found peace & happiness.  Peace out & God Bless

charlescampbellmd89 at 12:31 PM February 2, 2011 I am sick of this type of thing occurring where a white woman does something they are either ashamed of or they commit a horrendous crime like murder their kids and find it acceptable to use a Black Man as their scapegoat. It speaks to the heart of the bigotry that is still pervasive in this country. A white woman knows that the mere mention of a Black Man causes white males to immediately go on a manhunt without even considering the validity of the accusation. I guess some things will never change.
She should be charged with a felony and a hate crime, and the church should be sued for damages. An innocent Black man could have been arrested or killed by police officers in their zeal to defend the honor of a white nun.
