A University of Wyoming student targeted by an anonymous Facebook posting that included a threat of sexual violence had posted the item herself, police said.
The university in Laramie, Wyoming announced on Tuesday that campus police cited Meg Lanker-Simons for misdemeanor interference with a police investigation by giving false statements.
The posting that threatened Lanker-Simons occurred on a Facebook forum for UW students, leading to an outcry and an investigation by UW police because it was directed at a student.
The Facebook page, which is not officially affiliated with the university, was taken down and a student-led demonstration against sexual violence was held.
UW police say they found what they called 'substantial evidence' verifying that the post came from the computer belonging to Lanker-Simons.
Lanker-Simons is a blogger and local radio show host who advocates for liberal causes.
In 2010, she filed a lawsuit against the university that forced UW to allow 1960s radical Bill Ayers on the campus for a speech on education.
Ayers co-founded the Weather Underground, an anti-war group from the Vietnam Era that claimed to be responsible for a series of bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.
The Facebook post came to light last week when people including Pamela Kandt, co-convener of the Episcopal Women's Caucus and a Casper activist, complained to the university and demanded action.
Besides the threat of sexual assault, the posting was written to make it appear as if its author was a conservative Republican.
Kandt came to Lanker-Simons' defense Tuesday.
'I will tell you, I believe Meg is innocent of this outrage,' Kandt told the Laramie Boomerang, adding she believes the citation issued by police is a 'classic case of blaming the victim.'
'I mean, my God, who would do this to herself?' she added.

“Lanker-Simons is a blogger and local radio show host who advocates for liberal causes. “
No, she’s a frickin’ liberal LIAR just like the LIAR in chief. She, like he, needs to be carted off for a nice jail term.
Can we find out waht radio station had her show and petition to get her overly large @$$ fired?
Meg Lanker-Simons must be punished for her false rape accusation by authorities (this case will most likely be pleabargained) & then she must be @least suspended for 2 years or even expelled from University of Wyoming Laramie. Since University of Wyoming Laramie is discussed here, this is the college where M.W. Shepard went to & some thoughts.
1st, I’m not a friend, relative nor lawyer of the 2 men who killed M.W. Shepard-only they & Shepard know why it happened & only M.W. Shepard knew what was on his mind but before that October 1998 day, Metthew Wayne Shepard a drug junky who mixed Ecstasy with antidepressants was regarded by many including friends as moody, obnoxious and selfish. But after 2 men killed him, then he got hero worship as Harvey B. Milk has gotten.
Among other things Metthew Wayne Shepard chose University of Wyoming out of all the colleges he could get into but then continuously insulted the college & Laramie. Metthew Wayne Shepard had the rude habit of cutting in line in front of others while shopping including in front of handicapped-excuses made by his mom Judy Peck Shepard are his depression, drugs & alcohol. Of course apologists for Shepard Foundation have people include Big Island Chronicle’s Tiffany C. Edwards Hunt who farts in front of her kids to entertain them.
I raise this, because it wouldn’t surprise me if this student Meg Lanker-Simon shares the same view M.W. Shepard did of Laramie & University of Wyoming. Choosing a college & then insulting Laramie & University of Wyoming. The University of Wyoming, Laramie must either suspend Meg Lankder-Simon for 2 years or even expel Meg Lanker-Simon because what she did insulted the University of Wyoming, Laramie. The University of Wyoming Laramie since 1998 has memorialized M.W. Shepard, but again, M.W. Shepard consistently insulted University of Wyoming & the city of Laramie & since he didn’t change his view before he was killed, don’t think the University of Wyoming, Laramie should memorialize a student who insulted their college & city before his death.
Finally When I spoke with Chad R. Baldwin former editor of Casper Star Tribune who now works for University of Wyoming Laramie on Oct. 1, 2012 about this, Chad R. Baldwin gave me the excuse that he doesn’t work for Casper Star Tribune anymore. For those who don’t know, Mr. Chad R. Baldwin in 2008 said that he would give an argument with any1 if they told him that the Shepard case didn’t deserve special attention. But again on Oct. 1, 2012 when I spoke with him on these things, Mr. Chad R. Baldwin gave the excuse that he doesn’t work for Tribune anymore, so he isn’t a man of his word. I wonder if Mr. Chad R. Baldwin who again works now for University of Wyoming, Laramie, sees something wrong with memorializing a student M.W. Shepard who again continously insulted University of Wyoming, Laramie & who didn’t change his view before he was killed by 2 men.
The trouble is, by the time I drank enough to be willing I’d no longer be able.
Good luck with that. She’s got a face that would make a train take a dirt road.
C’mon, I’m not drinking EVERYTHING they produce! (although Maker’s is my beverage of choice when I’m in the mood for hard liquor)
Gee, I didn’t see the word “expelled” ANYwhere in the article.
‘Sup with that?
That's why they get away with this stuff because liberals say, "Well, it could have happened. A conservative could have done that." This instead of being angry that she lied and made it up.
All kinds of lies can be told about you, and your life could be ruined, but as long as it "raises awareness" you're SOL.
bump
What Mr. Chad R. Baldwin said about having a safe campus is fine. Did Mr. Chad R. Baldwin comment on Meg Lanker-Simon’s lie-he possibly did but the media didn’t report this. As I have said, Meg Lanker-Simons must @least be suspended from Univ. of Wyoming for @least 2 years or expelled because she insulted University of Wyoming & Laramie with her lie.
But to repeat,I spoke with Chad R. Baldwin former editor of Casper Star Tribune who now works for University of Wyoming Laramie on Oct. 1, 2012 about former student the gay drug junky Methew Wayne Shepeard killed in October 1998 after Mr. Chad R. Baldwin in 2008 said that he would give an argument with any1 if they told him that the Shepard case didn’t deserve special attention. But again on Oct. 1, 2012 when I spoke with him on these things, Mr. Chad R. Baldwin gave the excuse that he doesn’t work for Tribune anymore, so he isn’t a man of his word. I wonder if Mr. Chad R. Baldwin who again works now for University of Wyoming, Laramie, sees something wrong with memorializing a student M.W. Shepard who again continously insulted University of Wyoming, Laramie & who didn’t change his view before he was killed by 2 men. That’s 1 thing people should ask Mr. Chad R. Baldwin-the fact that University of Wyoming, Laramie must acknowledge fact that Methew Wayne Shepard continually insulted University of Wyoming, Laramie after choosing this college out of all the colleges he could get into & that his view didn’t change before his Oct. 1998 killing. Wouldn’t surprise me if Meg Lanker-Simons has the same thinking as Meg Lanker-Simons insulted this college with her false rape accusation. That’s what Mr. Chad R. Baldwin needs to comment on-students who have insulted University of Wyoming, Laramie such as Meg Lanker-Simons did & what Methew Wayne Shepard did in 1998.
