GREENVILLE — An alleged sexual assault at a fraternity house at East Carolina University last month prompted the suspension of all fraternities there, but Greenville police concluded an investigation Wednesday, saying no assault occurred.
Police had been investigating a report of a sexual assault in the early morning hours Jan. 25 at Sigma Phi Epsilon at 505 E. Fifth St. in Greenville. The university quickly sent out an emergency alert, saying the victim had been taken to the hospital and describing a brown-haired male suspect in a plaid button-down shirt.
But late Wednesday, Greenville police issued a statement, saying the case was closed and no charges would be filed. “After careful review, it has been determined that the incident in question was consensual,” said the statement by Kristen Hunter, public information officer.
The national Sigma Phi Epsilon organization, known as SigEp, had initially suspended the ECU chapter. On Wednesday, Richmond-based SigEp released a statement saying that on Jan. 25, members of the ECU fraternity “asked two uninvited guests to leave the premises of their off-campus facility after finding the couple engaged in a sexual act.”

There should be some real stiff penalties for false allegations like this.
Verdict first—Evidence later, if ever.
Which one is this?
I agree. Every false accusation makes it that much more difficult for the victim of an actual assault, that much more likely she will, sadly, be viewed with suspicion.
I think that it constitutes jail time. Messing up peoples’ lives like this should not be permitted nor tolerated.
It's the only way to end White Privilege.
“It’s the seriousness of the charge that matters.”
Unfortunately these ladies take advantage of the fact that making a false accusation to a college board is not legally a crime, as opposed to making the accusation to the police. That’s what they don’t go to the police.
Fake but accurate.
“Ladies” they are not. No school should allow this to happen, and should place penalties on students who falsely report crimes.
“Verdict first...Evidence later...”
Sounds like St. Michael Brown and Trayvon rush to “judgment.”
Those tramps are not ladies.
Already, roll in the sharks to clean out the school coffers!! Like they should!
Young men going off to college need to be told to keep their pants zipped up and to avoid casual sex.
