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.

Does anyone have a complete listing of the phony victim leftist set ups in the past 10 years?
Liberals can’t find any real hate crimes so they fake them. They are sure that all conservatives are committing hate crimes, they just can’t catch them at it.
(shrug) There are plenty of liberal skanks who do this kind of thing.. Some even vandalize their own cars.
Claremont Hate Crime Called Hoax
LA Times (FR thread) | March 17. 2004 | Joy Buchanan, Kristina Sauerwein and Stuart Silverstein
A week after a reported campus hate crime drew national attention, sparked protests and shut down the prestigious Claremont Colleges, police on Wednesday called the incident a hoax staged by a professor who slashed tires, shattered windows and spray-painted racist graffiti on her own car.
Claremont McKenna College psychology professor Kerri Dunn, who had told police that her car was vandalized as she spoke at a March 9 forum on racism, was identified by two eyewitnesses as the person who damaged the auto, authorities said Wednesday.
Professor Kerri Dunn vandalized her own car and then led "Stop The Hate" rallies on campus.
Why are women with hyphenated names nutcases?
Instead they ALWAYS get a slap on the wrist, but plenty of media coverage and candlelight vigils first.
Well, it may have been a hoax, but they RAISED AWARENESS!
These hoaxes are so frequent, I immediately think hoax after the first sentence out of their mouths.
The only thing that "surprises" me is that this woman isn't a lesbian.
Meg Wanker?
No, beer wouldn’t do it. Even two-fifths of something that would make you go blind wouldn’t be enough.
That is exactly right. Here is just a small sample:

I would be AMAZED if any member of this caucus has been inside a church for any purpose (other than, perhaps, a pro-abortion rally) in a long, long while.
Hmmm. I wonder how she voted in the last election?
When she was in college my niece called them LUGs (Lesbian until graduation) Being a victim class has great advantages in America’s colleges.
Yup, that’s appropriate.
The thing is, a lot of your casual, low info voters happen to catch it on the news and say, “That’s horrible. That must be true that Republican men don’t like women.” Then, they move on and miss the follow up story, which likely doesn’t get as much attention, and which exposes the lie told in the original story. So mission accomplished in a sense.
When I saw that pic I started hearing Randy Newman’s “Wedding in Cherokee County” in my head.
