Then on May 10, the friend who was living in Sorey’s old apartment called her to say her neighbor was banging on the front door.
The neighbor wasn’t aware the couple had moved out but wanted to confront them over ‘money issues’.
Sorey told her friend over the phone that the man banging on the door sounded like the person who had broken in and sexually assaulted her.
When Sorey’s friend went outside to try and take a photo of the neighbor, police said the man attacked him.
Police said a confrontation occurred and Sorey’s friend killed the man in self defense.
The names of the friend or neighbor have not been released by police.
It is not clear how the neighbor died.
Following her neighbor’s death, Sorey admitted to police that she had lied about being sexually assaulted.
She was arrested last Friday and charged with falsely reporting a crime.

It was only after the neighbor’s death that Sorey admitted to police that she “fabricated the entire report of sexual battery and that it never happened.”
Sorey was arrested Friday afternoon on a single misdemeanor count of falsely reporting a crime. She was released from the county jail late last night after posting $150 bond.
In a Facebook profile, Sorey describes herself as “Wife, mother, step mother, medical student. MS and Lupus warrior.”
In the April 20 Facebook post, Sorey informed followers that she was raising money for the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence. That post, however, was deleted immediately after she was contacted by the media over her claims.
She also claims to have attended St. Petersburg College and Ultimate Medical Academy, which offers training for entry-level health care jobs.
In December, Brittany Sorey sought contributions via Facebook so that she could purchase a van capable of carrying up to eight passengers. Noting that she was about to start a new job, Sorey wrote that she “shared custody with my ex husband” and, due to her lack of a vehicle, was missing “some of my time and weekends or vacations with them” since, “I live hour and a half away from my kids.”
While Sorey sought to raise $6500, she extracted no contributions from her online friends.
