"San Francisco police public information officer Albie Esparza told Polygon that Sarkeesian had filed a report with the police department about the threats she received online and that the police department handed the information to the FBI for investigation."

Literally every single report on this topic says that Esparza is referring to the reports filed in August.

September 11th: People talked to Esparza who said the files of the August threats weren't in his database
September 12th: Esparza responded again saying the files weren't in the database because they were sent to the FBI

I don't know how much clearer this has to be.


Any normal reporter wouldn't jump to conclusions based off of one piece of information. They would ask for more, or clarification. Saying "we don't have any records of this" isn't definitive proof that she was lying. It quite obviously wasn't.
