College Student Creates Campuswide Crime Alert over Double False Rape Accusation
She falsely accused her boyfriend of raping her at gunpoint, made a false rape accusation against an unknown (non) assailant, and set off a campuswide crime alert. Yet she is not named in the news story below (nor in this one) because she is a rape victim, even though the point of the story is that she isn't a rape victim.
The article explains, "It is not yet known if the student will face charges for filing the false report." Such charges may in her case lead to having to pick up trash on the highway for a couple weekends. Other possible legal consequences include a stern look from the judge or a strict admonishment to please not do it again.
The e-mail address for the prosecuting attorney in the case is sdunnings@xxxxxxxxxxx The e-mail address of MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor, who is quoted in the article, is mcglothi@xxxxxxxx

Student-filed assaults prove false

Published: November 6, 2007
MSU police have determined that a report filed by a student who said she was assaulted twice in the same night is false.
An 18-year-old East Holmes Hall resident told police she was confronted outside her dorm room on Oct. 28 by her ex-boyfriend, who supposedly pointed a gun at her head and threatened her before leaving five minutes later.
The victim also told police that she was sexually assaulted about eight hours after the incident when an unknown suspect entered her room and groped her while she was sleeping.
The incidents were said to have happened between 2:55 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
Following the report, a campuswide crime alert was distributed via e-mail.
Through further investigation and interviews with those involved in the incident, police discovered the two incidents did not take place, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said.
The alleged victim was transported to a local hospital, treated and released following the reported assault.
McGlothian-Taylor said police have to provide medical treatment for all alleged sexual assaults, regardless of available proof.
“It’s standard procedure. It’s not up to us to judge her,” McGlothian-Taylor said. “We took her at her word and followed our standard protocol.”
False reports are seldom filed, McGlothian-Taylor said.
It is not yet known if the student will face charges for filing the false report.
“That’s not up to (police),” McGlothian-Taylor said. “The investigator will be submitting a supplemental report to the Ingham County prosecutor’s office for review.”
