Former WABC Weather Personality Heidi Jones Indicted on Fake Sex Claim

The on again, off again saga of one-time WABC/Channel 7 weather forecaster Heidi Jones took a dramatic turn Friday.

The Daily News reports Jones was indicted by a grand jury for falsifying a sexual attack claim in Central Park.

Prosecutors, though, rarely seek indictments for lower crimes.

The double standard is an unconstitutional disgrace.
