College student whose false rape claim got two football players removed from school now faces two years in prison

According to the arrest affidavit, when police Detective Walberto Cotto Jr. pressed Yovino about inconsistencies in her original statement, she admitted she had made up the allegations against the two young men in the hope of gaining sympathy from a prospective boyfriend.

This is where the "yes, but only 2-10% of accusations are false" misinformation comes from. That number only includes the tiny, tiny % where the police can prove it was false, in this case her confession was the proof. If this lady just kept her mouth shut and said, "My PTSD from the incident has affected by recollection of events and I have no more to say on the matter". She wouldn't have been charged with anything and this case would have instead been categorized as "unfounded" vs. "false".

If she actually gets two years I'll be well pleased with the outcome, but I think it's more likely she'll spend no more than 30 days in jail.

I like how she's 'shocked' that she might actually face consequences. How about the two football players are awarded huge damages and she is forced to work to pay those damages?

Don't forget it: a girl willing to have sex with two random guys in a bathroom at a party is a dangerous and unstable person.

Only two years. She ruined two peoples lives and possibly their futures and only gets two years. Amazing

Dear male college students: ask your buddies to record your previous foreplay before any sexual encounter with this kind of women.

“I think the offer is a good one considering the serious allegations in the case,”

A little too good, in my opinion. Also.....what about the football players? Any chances of their lives getting back on track?

Tgunner192 · 2017-06-16T22:45:28+00:00

Only two years? Pussypass

Toolongdidntreproduc · 2017-06-16T18:00:49+00:00

She's ok with getting tag teamed in a bathroom but not ok with a guy she wants to date knowing about it. I guess claiming rape was her only option /s

False rape allegations should be treated more seriously. Not only is she ruining the men's lives she is lying about, she is making it harder for real victims of rape to come forward as the narrative is more about proving the rape victim's case with solid evidence because the court has to be more careful about false allegations. But all in all that's a good thing really, for everyone. But I think she should get 10 years, not 2. That's a weak sentence for a heinous crime.

If someone is found beyond a reasonable doubt to have lied about being raped, I think two years may be light. Their victims' lives can be impacted in innumerable ways. Registered sex offender, have to move, kicked out of school, harm to reputation, affects future dating life, etc etc etc.

“She admitted that she made up the allegation of sexual assault against (the football players) because it was the first thing that came to mind and she didn’t want to lose (another male student) as a friend and potential boyfriend,” the affidavit states.

Extremely lucky that she admitted it. Had she not, they would not have had enough evidence to convict, and worse: the two men might be in prison instead of her.

False rape accusations should carry the same punishment as rape itself. Two years for ruining two people's lives is an absolute joke and not an effective deterrent at all.

Tipping-topsy · 2017-06-16T19:05:30+00:00

Finally!!!! We need to do the exact same to all females caught lying about sexual or physical assault, even if the male has not served unjust jail time. We need to teach females to be very afraid if the consequences she will face if she lies about a male.

It's time to just stop believing the victim without phisical proof.

LegendaryBidoof · 2017-06-16T22:02:27+00:00

She should be in prison longer. Possibly ruined two people's lives and 2 years is not enough.

AntiAbleism · 2017-06-17T13:50:39+00:00

Another lying woman ruins two men's lives. Typical.

provocateur__ · 2017-06-17T00:00:35+00:00

I wish women would stop using rape as a morning after pill for regretting being a whore.

mwobuddy · 2017-06-16T17:38:34+00:00

Better late than never.

It's great that the plea bargain is 2 tears. It shows the prosecutors are taking the case seriously and maybe the judge might give her 3. Still if I'm her lawyer, given the track record of what false accusers get, I'd tell her she'd probably get less even after a conviction.

UDT22 · 2017-06-17T02:04:55+00:00

Wow, this is great news if she actually does prison time. And I doubt she will.

Jamesfm007 · 2017-06-17T09:17:30+00:00

She deserves what both of those dudes would've gotten, combined, had they been convicted. And then some.

sls0059 · 2017-06-17T21:07:58+00:00

If she actually does go to jail, which I doubt, it should start at an unannounced time of the ex-football players choosing. On day everything is going her way and bam, time to go to jail.

Cunt

Nice

tragedyfish · 2017-06-16T20:13:23+00:00

I actually hope they're lenient on her. If she had kept her mouth shut and stuck to her BS rape story, they may never have been able to convict her. I'm not sure if this is true in this case. But, given the lack of detail in the article, it's a conclusion that people may jump too. If someone in a similar situation as Yovino came to that conclusion, they would likely view her admission of guilt as a mistake.

In my opinion, admission of guilt should be encouraged whenever possible. Not so much for her sake. For her sake, I hope they throw the book at her 'cause that's what she deserves. But for the sake of the viewing public, I hope for leniency in an effort to encourage honesty.

albertienstien · 2017-06-16T15:56:54+00:00

When people come forward and admit they lied I think they should be punished but lightly to encourage others to come forward in the future. When people lie then realize they'll be found out because evidence has come forward and change their tone those people should face the same charges the potential rapist would have faced. Including the sexual preditor thing after they're released
