Prosecutors allege woman lied about Stanford campus rapes

is now accused of fabricating the claims in a revenge plot against a co-worker.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office has charged Jennifer Ann Gries, 25, of Santa Clara, with two felony counts of perjury and two misdemeanor counts of making a false crime report.

Gries was arrested Wednesday and booked at the Santa Clara County jail, then was released pending an April 17 arraignment. Gries works for housing services at the university.

A joint statement from Stanford Vice Provost Patrick Dunkley and Laura Wilson, director of the Stanford Department of Public Safety, said the school “will be reviewing” Gries’ employment in light of the charges.

An investigative summary accompanying the criminal complaint filed Tuesday indicates that Gries felt romantically spurned by a co-worker and generally described him — a Black man in his late 20s — as her purported assailant.

She was also the source of an earlier human resources complaint involving a claim she became pregnant with, then miscarried, the man’s twins after he raped her, all of which was deemed unfounded. Her resentment also appeared in text messages to another co-worker that were reviewed by police in which she discussed trying to make the man’s life “a living hell” and that “I’m coming up with a plan. That way he’s (expletive) his pants for multiple days.”

Authorities say the man was never romantically involved with Gries, and that forensic exam kits collected after the two rape claims yielded no corroborating evidence. Months later, in late January, DA Investigator Sheena Woodland contended that Gries, in a recorded police interview, “admitted to lying about the rapes and wrote an apology letter to the target of the false allegations.”

Gries also said “she was upset with the victim because she felt he gave her ‘false intention’ and turned her friends against her.”
