Two Female Students In Legal Trouble After False Rape Reports

Article here. Excerpt:

'Female students at two separate universities faced legal repercussions last month after they reported sexual assaults that police say never happened.

In mid-November, a Missouri circuit court judge ordered two years of probation for a Lindenwood University student who pleaded no contest to making a false report, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported this week after reviewing the court records.

In 2014, when Joanna Newberry was 21, she told police she had fought off a man who attacked her in the basement of the university’s library; he had jumped out of the stall where he was hiding, she claimed, and tried to pull off her leggings as she kicked and struggled, she said.'
