Woman accused of lying about rape claims psychiatric illness
Associated Press ^ | 7/15/2017 | Staff

A former university student accused of lying about being raped by two university football players is seeking to have the charges against her dismissed.

The Connecticut Post reports former Sacred Heart University student Nikki Yovino filed an application in court Friday saying she's suffering from a psychiatric disability.

The 19-year-old South Setauket, New York, native will undergo a psychological evaluation. A judge will decide whether she qualifies for a pretrial diversionary program. If she qualifies and completes that program she could have the charges dismissed.

Prosecutors say they'll contest Yovino's request. They previously offered her a plea deal with a two-year prison sentence.

Yovino accused two Sacred Heart football players of sexually assaulting her during an October party. The players said the sex was consensual. Police say Yovino later admitted making up the allegations.

Police allege Yovino lied because she was worried another student would lose romantic interest in her when it became known she had sex with the two players.

This woman needs a felony conviction and more than a year behind bars - my preference is a lot more. That’s what her victims would have received if her lies had been believed.

So tired of the female victim card.

Women lie. They avoid personal responsibility. They shouldnt even be allowed to drink. Only men can legally consent to sex after drinking. The equal, strong and independent women somehow cant give consent after drinking.

Fricking snowflake victims that lie and detroy mens lives, no remorse, just trying to evade responsibility and negative consequences.

Things have gotten so out of hand that I would NOT blame young men from recording their amorous encounters.

I have long believed that it should be legal to record anything using an encryption algorithm that results in a video file that can only be decrypted by court order.

The NSA uses the argument that their recording of all cell calls is allowable because it takes a court order to access the calls.... if this idea is OK for the NSA it should be OK for the average Joe!

THIS is why dudes are SCARED to go after chicks.

Don’t like that word selection..?

Okay, it’s also why they’re dropping out of The Marriage Game.

If she suddenly switches her sh*t up on you, there is a whole phalanx of feminized Weapons of Man Destruction behind her, ready to back her up:

Courts, counselors, cops, CPS, HR Departments...the list gets bigger all the time.

These people have massive power and even if your name is TOTALLY cleared, it takes a LONG time and there is still the lingering perception that you MUST have done SOMETHING, at least SOMETHING.

This massively impacts white fertility; if there can be no romance, then in the long run there will be no babies, not while they are crowded out more and more by people from Mali (ave. family has 6.6 kids).

Feminism has been more dangerous to the Western Civ so far than nuclear weapons.

"He kept a huge photo binder of all the girls he humped cuz he's such a perv Lothario..!!"

You really would think so, but the reason was actually LEGAL:

His lawyers all swore a group who hated the band as Satan Worshippers would send a hot honey to him, they'd "do it" and then she'd scream rape.

So the binder is FILLED with girls standing next to him, smiling with THEIR SHIRTS OFF...!

How might a rape allegation seem after counter-evidence that..?

Not gentlemanly but maybe necessary.

We'll be seeing more weirdness like that, going forward.

No. Absolutely not.

She has tarnished these two guys’ reputations because of her embarrassment; perhaps her parents found out.

She should not be given a pass. (Unless she is actually mentally ill, in which case there would be other evidence).

She has a basic case of buyer’s remorse.

Lying about psychiatric illness is still an unsworn falsification (forgery) or, if under oath, perjury.

I agree 100%...and I am a woman.

I went to college 30 years ago...and you knew what you were getting into if you let a young man into your apartment, dorm room, etc.

So that's why those of us who wanted to be virtuous did not do so.

Perhaps this is TMI...but when I was 18 I fell "in love" with a guy..really wanted to "be with him..."

He asked me, "Are you willing to have an abortion?"

Without really thinking about it, I said "no."

Looking back, I am very happy I said that.

Of course, didn't lose my virginity for a few years after that... :) But it's okay. :)

“Women lie.”

Yes, they do. I’ve spent the majority of my life believing that women are more virtuous than men, are often victims, and need to be protected. I absolutely do not believe these things anymore. I am more realistic now, and see women and men as equally likely to be virtuous or predatory and vicious. It was actually a very difficult concept for me to grasp.

Last time I checked, the average sentence for a rape conviction was about eight years, and the average time actually served was about five years.

This woman either will have her charges dismissed and attend a "diversionary program," or she wil be sentenced to two years and might easily be paroled after eight months.

Will American prosecutors ever get serious about false rape accusations?
