Reporter gets community service for false rape report

Ex-TV weather gal Heidi Jones will serve 350 hours of community service after pleading guilty yesterday to fabricating a tale of attempted rape in Central Park — one for every hour of NYPD manpower she wasted.

Jones' blizzard of lies centered on a fictional Sept. 24, 2010, attack in Central Park in which a man grabbed her, covered her mouth and dragged her into the bushes, she told police. Two passers-by scared off the imaginary attacker before he could rape her, she told cops.

Cops pored over surveillance video from Central Park and around Jones' building, where she said the same attacker — a 40-something Hispanic man, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-10 — stalked her last Nov. 21.

Officers even stopped a man fitting her phony profile outside her pad, took his photo and put him in a picture lineup for Jones.

By Dec. 13, cops realized Jones was all bluster and she admitted making up the wild tale because of workplace stress.
