A woman appeared to roll her eyes in court several times as she was sentenced to one year in jail for making false rape allegations against two college football players.

Twenty-year-old Nikki Yovino, who police say had a sexual encounter with two players in Connecticut and later made false rape allegations so she wouldn't lose a potential boyfriend, was sentenced Thursday in Bridgeport Superior Court.

She pleaded guilty in June to misdemeanor charges of falsely reporting an incident and interfering with police.

Police say Yovino, of South Setauket, New York, was attending Sacred Heart University in Fairfield when she reported being raped by two school football players in 2016, but later admitted making up the story.

[Mrs. Don-o]

True. Justice really indicates she should get the same sentence the guys she perjured about would have gotten.

Perjury that could put an innocent person in jail is a detestable crime.

now that she’s a proven liar- do the young men get their scholarship back? Can they get back in school?

Even if the answers to both are yes, if they ever apply for good jobs, a background check will show that they were accused of rape. How many employers will take the risk of hiring them?

I agree but i think the school should let them back in.( I guess they left on their own volition before they got asked to leave)

did you leave off the /s ? >>>

yes, lol, it was a rhetorical question.
