A rape complaint made by a Hamilton teenager in September 2014 has turned out to be false.
The girl, who was 15 years old at the time, said a man attacked her at knifepoint at Hamilton Lake.
"Police are not able to comment any further on the specifics of this investigation, however we did want to provide some reassurance to the local community and visitors to the lake area, who were naturally very concerned about public safety following this complaint," says Detective Sergeant Kristine Clarke.
"We'd also like to thank the public for the huge amount of information and assistance they provided as we worked through this investigation."
