Francisco Nava '09 has admitted to fabricating an alleged assault on him that he said occurred Friday evening and also to sending threatening emails to himself, other members of the Anscombe Society and prominent conservative politics professor Robert George, Princeton Township Police said today.
"He fabricated the story," Det. Sgt. Ernie Silagyi said.
Nava was released to Public Safety and charges "have not been filed pending further investigation," according to a statement from Township Police.
— More to come.
Idiot. Nobody’s ever going to take conservatives seriously at Princeton now.
A few years ago, a homosexual activist at Trenton State fabricated an assault on himself. After much uproar on campus, the whole thing was revealed to be a hoax. At the time, the liberals on campus rationalized the whole thing because it “opened dialog”. Wanna bet nobody makes that excuse for this guy?
Who is this person, and why is his name Nava ‘09? Any relation to 007?
I had a feeling this would turn out to be the case. Sad. Stupid.
I buried Paul!
I have noticed that young conservatives are infected by “the ends justify the means”..................
I think young political activists of all stripes tend to be more concerned with “winning” an argument than with pesky littie things like morals, ethics, and the like....
With a name like that, this would be a good candidate for a thread to be hijacked over the immigration issue. Not exactly an Anglo Saxon name there.
His nominal graduation class, 2009. This usage is common in college papers.
Looking for maladjusted freaks? Look no further than the ivy league.
Now NOBODY is going to credit ANY conservative who claims he's been threatened.
Has anyone confirmed this guy isn’t a leftwing nutjob *posing* as a conseravtive?

It’s a man, posing as a woman, posing as a man.
I don’t believe he was ever conservative and was asked to do this subversively to make conservatives look bad. How long had he been a member of the Princeton “conservative group” I wonder?
Just a hunch and I’ve no proof of anything.
I agree with you completely.
“Hate crime” hoaxes are generally a tactic of the left.
A week after a reported campus hate crime drew national attention, sparked protests and shut down the prestigious Claremont Colleges, police on Wednesday called the incident a hoax staged by a professor who slashed tires, shattered windows and spray-painted racist graffiti on her own car.
Claremont McKenna College psychology professor Kerri Dunn, who had told police that her car was vandalized as she spoke at a March 9 forum on racism, was identified by two eyewitnesses as the person who damaged the auto, authorities said Wednesday.
Professor Kerri Dunn vandalized her own car.

Too bad. If he takes a year off he could be Nava X.
Just because he lied about being attacked doesn’t mean that he would EVER lie about his political affiliation. < /sarcasm >
NO sex? I'd start threatening people too!
From following other posts on this story (I had him pegged early as a fraud), I learned that he’s a conservative Mormon, and he’s converted to Mormonism.
He’s also a nutcase, and has faked victimhood incidents before — he did it in his senior year in High School/prep school, and was caught, and Princeton was notified and Princeton nearly rescinded it’s admission of Nova as a result.
He did have to wait out a year before attending, to address his “problem”.
The penalty for hoaxes should be having the hoax performed for real. Beat the stuffings out of him.
Good call bahblahbah!
It was completely obvious. Those articles read like a bad cliche. More people should have caught it. I’m sad that we as conservatives and the Anscombe Society get tainted with his stupidity.
Was this really a hoax by a conservative student? There are at least 2 alternate possibilities:
1. It wasn’t a hoax and Princeton liberals and members of the Police Department forced him to lie that it was a hoax to cover up the liberal crime.
2. He is a stealth liberal pretending to be a Conservative staging this hoax to try to make conservatives look bad. These kind of hoaxes are liberal tactics.
It is hard to believe a true conservative would stage this sort of hoax.
At least Princeton cleared it up very quickly. When it’s an hoax attack on a left-winger it takes longer. Boy is this guy dumb, almost losing his admission over a high school hoax, and pulling it again. Or just nuts?
Be interesting to see if I read about it in the Star-Ledger tomorrow. The original “incident” wasn’t there.
“It is hard to believe a true conservative would stage this sort of hoax.”
In college these days, students are taught that “activism” is a universal good in and of itself, as opposed to one means to an end. Faking is just an extreme and imaginative version of activism.
When I was at Cornell, I was friends with some of the people from the Cornell Review - there was a guy that started the "Cornell American" because he thought the Review wasn't fanatically Coservative enough.
Guy was a total nutbar - wore the same tan corduroy pants every day, stalked girls I knew, was all-around weird.
This sounded very odd. Princetonians are NOT Berkleyites, just mild-mannered leftists who actually STUDY, with a sizeable conservative contingent (who are now hanging their heads in embarassment) as well.
There is a low-smoldering feud between right and left on this campus, however. Remember the incident of the pro-life flyers getting ripped down?
Idiot. Why do people think they can get away with this stuff?
Sounds like one of those spiritual travelers, a la carte religiosity, more important for them to feel wanted/needed than for any other motivated factor.
Perhaps, if he wanted to get attention, he should have skipped playing "victim" and gone directly to portraying himself as a perp.
It's unfortunate that the conservatives are placed in such a defensive position. And by a student, Nava, who only recently became more active in the Anscombe Society
Nava said he has received several threats in the last two months, which began soon after he became more active in Anscombe.
It may turn out to be a good career move. He actually busted his face into a brick wall punched himself, and broke an Orangina bottle over his own head for political advantage. I see a career with Karl Rove or maybe as a GOP appointment to A.G.
Bad career move for you.
