A Twilight fan has admitted lying to police about an assault to hide the vampire-inspired role-playing behind bite marks on her body.
The 15-year-old US teen at first claimed that bruises and bites on her body were caused by someone who attacked her while she was jogging, the Smoking Gun reports.
Her imaginary assailant jumped out of the bushes, knocked her to the ground and tried to remove her shirt.
But the girl, from Marathon in Florida, supposedly was able to fight off the attacker.
When officers determined the jogging attack as described by the teen could not have caused the marks left on her neck and arms, she admitted the story was a fake.
Police said the girl is a fan of the vampire-based Twilight movies and books and had engaged in "fantasy biting behaviour" with a 19-year-old male neighbour.
But she made up the assault because she was worried her mother would see the marks.
The girl has since been charged with making a false report to police.
The male neighbour has not been charged because the role-playing was "consensual", police said.
