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.

Uhhh...Someone who wants attention and wants to make conservatives look bad.
Here is the Facebook posting. Laughing at her husband's response. I wonder if he was in on it. If not, he's going to need to wipe the egg off his face.
For pictures, check the article. I’m afraid they’ll be deleted if I post them here.
I’ve seen her pic and my question is: who would want to rape that fat, ugly, midget of a liberal toad?
...she thinks someone would want to rape her?
Yuck. She’s a pig.
“Ive seen her pic and my question is: who would want to rape that fat, ugly, midget of a liberal toad?”
That was my thought. Once they said feminist, I wasn’t expecting much, and she certainly didn’t disappoint with her ugliness.
But really, really, stupid of her to try that scam. I’m sure the authorities kept saying something like “what kind of person would want to rape you?”, knowing full well that it must be a hoax.
Who would rape her?
And to think someone married her!
“Ive seen her pic and my question is: who would want to rape that fat, ugly, midget of a liberal toad?”
******************************************************************
Looking at her wedding picture I think it unlikely that the lib husband wouldn’t be interested in raping her—looking at that picture had my “Gaydar” detector going off the charts for him.
bwahahaa....
The old “false but true” game.
You are right they would be deleted on FR for being not hittable!
Hopefully, he’ll be brought up on abbeting charges, and the two of these phonies can pay the state of Wyoming and her citizens back for their criminal deciept. Time to double out of state resident tuition. Build a fence!
Maybe it was she who raped him, who knows.
Oink.
Are you sure Laz wouldn't hit it?
Eww - she’s a 12-pack, maybe an 18-pack ...
Wyoming is toast.
Her husband attacked the whole state of Wyoming in his response?
