Woman accused of lying about rape rejects plea deal

Our thanks to Martin for this. Extracts:

In this March 3, 2017 file photo, Nikki Yovino is arraigned in Superior Court, in Bridgeport, Conn.

The case of a former Connecticut college student accused of lying about being raped by two university football players is headed to trial.

The Connecticut Post reports 19-year-old Nikki Yovino rejected a plea deal Wednesday in Bridgeport Superior Court. Prosecutors offered a two-year prison sentence and a judge offered one-year sentence. [J4MB: That was gentlemanly of him.]…

The native of South Setauket, New York, accused two Sacred Heart University football players of sexually assaulting her during an October 2016 party. The players said the sex was consensual.

Police say Yovino admitted making up the allegations because she worried another student would lose romantic interest in her when he found out about the sexual encounter. [J4MB: Lying about rape to cover up infidelity is the first of Janet Bloomfield’s 13 reasons women lie about rape.]

Yovino’s lawyer says they’re eager to present the whole story to a jury.

  1. At least they bring most of them to justice over there. Unlike in the UK, where – in one set of figures I looked at – only one quarter of confirmed false accusers were charged.

    • Only a miniscule proportion of alleged false accusers are charged (perverting the course of justice and/or wasting police time). Making a false rape allegation in itself is not a criminal offence). I think you might be referring to the report by Alison Levitt QC. She found that of the cases put forward to police for a charging decision – and you can be sure the evidence of false allegations was very strong – the CPS only decided to prosecute in about 25% of cases. That leaves a vast number of allegations that women make, which the police don’t refer to the CPS for a charging decision. Plus the culture is such that the police must be highly reluctant to seek a charging decision, the view of the CPS being that it is not in the ‘public interest’ to bring such prosecutions, for fear of deterring ‘real victims’ – an absurd argument, but one which has been repeated so often by the rape industry, politicians and others uncritically parrot it.

      • Same here in Australia Mike. In fact, I do not remember the last time I ever read or heard of a lying woman being charged, even after the innocent guy spent years in prison. The worst that has happened to the criminals who put him there, is that the govt gets sued by him for loss of wages and pain and suffering. And the pay out is minuscule too.

        But that is the taxpayer footing the bill for a lying woman. Why isn’t she in prison for at least ten years without any early parole?

  2. Not in the ‘ public interest’ to charge lying women, but in the public interest to charge as many men as possible, often innocent….. What kind of a sick, perverted,dishonest, vicious, biased society are we living in?
    We know women are the main perpetrators.. Time to stop treating them like queens who can do no wrong. They can and do a lot of wrong to the society.

  3. Well. I can see why she’s going to court. Small attractive young woman, no doubt with some sob story. If the US is anything like here the most she’ll get is “suspended” and quite possibly, with enough tears, acquitted.

  4. i hope she does go to court, regardless of the outcome she will have to change her name ( and hope the press don’t do a follow up in 5 years), good luck get work honey or a relationship because the only person who will have a relationship with you is someone who is desperate to get US passport/citizenship…
