‘VICTIM’ CHANGES RAPE STORY

The alleged teenage rape victim who told cops yesterday she was snatched at gunpoint off a Brooklyn street and brutally raped in an abandoned building changed her story in an interview with The Post.

The girl said she was actually approached on Wednesday afternoon by a well-known acquaintance who concocted a bizarre plan to force her into prostitution.

According to the 16-year-old Fort Greene resident’s new claim, the man took her to his apartment, where he started drinking malt liquor and yelled: “If I don’t get my money I’m going to kill someone.”

He then took her to a store where he introduced her to another man, who then took her to an apartment and had sex for money, the girl said.

She claimed the man later tried to force her to have sex with another man, but when she strongly objected, he relented and took her home.

She said she told the police her original tale of rape because she was afraid of retaliation since the man had taken her personal information.

Police yesterday said they were still investigating.
