The young women said that "sometime in late October," Greene sat down next to her...

Good lord. I checked at the link, and this error was on the Fox News web site.

I see this often enough in the forums from people who don't know the difference between the words "women" and "woman" (not to mention "then" and "than") and now it's creeping onto professional journalism sites. Don't they have editors?

"(not to mention "then" and "than")"

First of all I am not a grammar Nazi and I am the world's worst typist besides being the queen of typos but misusing then and than drives me crazy!That and the people who spell voila as walla. That is an onion not a french word for see here.

So this girl is a college student so this did not involve a minor? Then I have to think that this is a he said she said? Is she one of those females who gets really bent out of shape about porn?I wonder if he just wasn't using their wifi for free while browing online and she saw what he was looking at and was offended and decided he'd "assaulted" her later? Charges like these are really stupid IMHO because they devalue what real sexual assault means. I'm female BTW.
