A Hofstra University student who accused a group of men of gang-raping her inside a campus dorm has recanted her tale, sources said.
“She admitted it was consenual and the district attorney is dismissing the charges and releasing the suspects,” a law enforcement source told the Post.
The accused men — Rondell Bedward, Jesus Ortiz, Kevin Taveras, Stalin Felipe — are expected to be released from custody as soon as tonight.
The 18-year-old woman accused Ortiz of taking her cellphone around 3 a.m. Sunday at a frat party at on-campus club Hofstra USA.
She claimed that she followed the man home from the party and rode the elevator with him to the 11th floor of Eastbrook Hall.
There, she accused Felipe, 19, of making advances on her, which she resisted.
She also accused the men — including Bedward, the only Hofstra student arrested — of forcing her into a bathroom stall, tying her up and taking turns sexually assaulting her.
All four men were charged with first-degree rape and held in lieu of $500,000. They each faced 25 years in prison if convicted

DAs should attack these false claims with vigor. Every fake rape makes it even harder for real victims to get justice and thats already hard enough.
No version of this story is hanging together, but it may just be bad reporting.
Will she face charges? Maybe, and that’s a BIG maybe, if she’s white.
I don’t think they ever get prosecuted for false claims.
There is a new rape claim down at Hill College in TX, hhmmm
Imagine applying for a job and having to put arrested for rape when it was bogus...
Put her in jail for 2 yrs
But, these women NEVER get prosecuted because no prosecutor one wants to face the wrath of the feminist - both conservative and liberal - lobby.
The downside to doing this would be that it would give the woman an incentive not to recant.
Did Crystal Gail Mangum ever get prosecuted for accusing the Duke frat boys of rape?
A totally unrelated question, but... who in the hell names their child STALIN?
But these girls should not be making false rape charges in the first place.
>> I don’t think they ever get prosecuted for false claims.
At the very least, they should drop the “Jane Doe” crap and plaster her name and picture all over the media.
I realize that (right or wrong) they protect the identities of rape and other such crimes.
But there is NO reason to protect the identity of a false witness above the age of legal accountability.

I don’t think so, being as she is a member of a protected “victim” class.
when i was in high school there was a couple of similar incidents at a party we called this activity “pulling the train” no i wasn’t involved
That's what I want to know. "Stalin Felipe" LOL.
SHOCKED I TELL YOU!!! It sounded fishy....she gave it up and couldnt face being a wh*re
A plague on all their houses. It’s hard for me to feel sorry for you when you were involved in a pervy four-on-one orgy.
