This is Nikki Yovino. After she falsely accused two SHU football players of rape, they had to give up their football scholarship
She didn't want her prospective boyfriend to find out about her threesome with two SHU football players so she accused them of rape. She goes on trial 6/15/17 in Bridgeport to face a Class A misdemeanor charge (up to 1yr) and a Class D felony charge (up to 5yrs)
FP Edit - I waited a day for more information... at the pre-trial hearing on 6/15, the case is continued on 6/26

I feel like the public need to be kept entirely in the dark over rape allegations these days, trial by mob and media isn't justice.

I wonder ... if she's found guilty, will she be listed on the sex offender registry? If so, at what level?

The sex offender registry wouldn't have anything to do with this case.

It should. She is someone to fear, because of serious sex crimes she's committed.
ITalkAboutGoats
It's not a sex crime. She lied. Her crime is lying.

It takes no evidence to arrest or accuse someone of something when you are a man in a case against a woman. Which is beyond unfair.

I think you sorely underestimate how much people care about rape. False accusations mean nothing if people don't care about rape.

Exactly. Rape is both more common *and* worse than false accusations, but Imgur doesn't seem to care as much.

As someone who was raped and someone in my family who was falsely accused, for our situation the false accusation did far more damage

I do care but I also care about innocent people whose lives are tarnished forever from false rape. Even if the courts find them not guilty-

not just for them either but for their family. my step father was falsely accused. because the girl admitted she made it all up i thought .
Toastfrog
that it was all in the past, and didnt put it on my police application. I then got declined at the end of the process for not disclosing it
Toastfrog
i didnt even think of it as a thing to disclose, it was 10 years ago and he was innocent.. so not only did it fuck up his and his kids life
Toastfrog
but mine and my moms and my little brother probably got the worst of out of everyone out of all of this. so yeah it does a lot of damage

Sadly the truth isn't going to be reported or known as well as the slander... People are vicious like that these days..
karlbadmanners
It never will, never has. Most people acquitted of rape charges have their lives ruined, often permantly.

These days? People have always been like that. It's just that now you don't have to find and read a book to learn about it.

A senior New Zealand police detective got a reprimand for revealing 60% of rape reports are false.

I'd love to know how they came up with that statistic; how the hell do you even begin to determine that?
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
By feeling the need to distort facts such that you live in perpetual victimhood.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
That statistic is absolute bullshit. Let me guess, you also believe societry treats whites worse than minorities?
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Also society. Mostly societry though.

"This person is on trial for murder!" You: "They're clearly scum, but most people aren't murderers." Thanks.

Meh, it's said any time a crime is used to demonized an entire group of people. Rape, accusations, terrorism, etc

RaisinZetaJones
Straw man fallacy. I never claimed anything of the contrary, merely stated you were attempting to distract from the issue at hand.
RaisinZetaJones
Of course, given your familiarity with logical fallacies, that merely proves you were aware your original statement was a non sequitur and
RaisinZetaJones
your follow-up was a straw man and did it anyway so that you could revictimize her victims and silence other victims like them. Disgusting.
lifeisapicnic
You're equating false accusers with murderers. Different classification of crime in the U.S. judicial system entirely, friend. Get real
lifeisapicnic
Illogical attempt to invalidate the point.
RaisinZetaJones
Yes, that's exactly what you were doing. Making an illogical attempt to invalidate the point. I'm glad you recognize that, thanks.

Alright Mr Return of Kings. Here's some resources for you. http://ndaa.org/pdf/the_voice_vol_3_no_1_2009.pdf

Most accusers who pursue legal action, or are involved in a case, are probably telling the truth. Accusations may be more frequent though.

Rape is the ONLY crime considered guilty until proven innocent. Assuming accusations are true is morally repugnant.
GaySocialistLiberalMuslimCommieAtheist
*considered guilty by the public the government does not blame the public not the process
ITalkAboutGoats
That's actually not true. Terrorism is the only crime. The accused can be held indefinitely without any trial.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
That's bullshit, and you're absurd if you don't know it.
ArchonErikr
Are they, though? Hearing about all of these false cases makes me seriously doubt any reporter's validity.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Jesus Christ, you cannot be serious.
lifeisapicnic
Of course some are false accusers. But there is more discussion here about false accusations than about rape, which is far more common
MrRavellon
Because it is more important not to punish the innocent than it is to punish the guilty. At least it is ought to be.
ITalkAboutGoats
Even the most disreputable sources put it at most at 13% of all rape accusations. More reputable put it at 4-6. Which is in line with almost
ITalkAboutGoats
Every other crime for false reporting.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Not disputing the statistic, but because I'm too lazy to look, does whatever studies found this talk about rape being more underreported?1/2
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
2/2 seems like adding that would sorta blure the numbers.

Another reason why rape is truly a disgusting crime: it's extremely hard to prove and get a conviction as it is. False accusations help (1)

in no way, shape, or form. (2)

Apparently according to Imgur's FP false rape is a bigger epidemic than real and under-reported rapes

Because sending an actually innocent person to jail and ruining their lives IS worse than not punishing someone guilty. In a perfect world 1

Think about what I wrote, I didn't say rape victims aren't innocent, rape is a horrendous crime.

A bigger epidemic than real rape ? I doubt anyone said something this big But it is a plague bc recently ppl use it to not face their errors

Recently? It's as if we only briefly learned to consider what might really have happened when a white girl cries rape after daddy finds 1/?
theyar
out she slept with a black guy, and then we quickly forgot. 2/2
causality
Nobody is on the other side in the case of actual rape. Plenty of people like to pretend false accusations effectively don't exist.
causality
"Murder is bad" doesn't make the front page. "11% of death row inmates are innocent" could make the front page.
Zapster109
But false rape accusations are rarer *and* less severe than actual rape! Imgur doesn't seem to think so. Gee I wonder why...
causality
Have you seen a single person claim that or are you just assuming that amount of discussion = severity?
RaisinZetaJones
They're less severe in what way? In a way you just made up, or in some actual data you have? Because every study dealing with false
RaisinZetaJones
allegations shows the symptoms of false allegations are pretty indistinguishable from the symptoms of rape victimization.
Zapster109
I can tell you haven't been raped. I have. I went through years of counseling to be able to sleep at night. Tell me perjury is worse.
BradysButtBoy
Thank you for pointing out something that has nothing to do with this case

It has everything to do with this case. Nothing exists in a vacuum.

BradysButtBoy
I'm just saying you were stating the obvious. Clearly she is scum, and of course most accusations are serious. To think otherwise is silly
WilwoWaggins
I don't suppose they will be posting her face every other day like they did with that guy that was convicted of rape.
chrisinsocalif
Convicted of sexual assault not rape by definition of California law and the reason why he got a more lenient sentence.

Are you fucking serious dude

If she gets a reduced sentence then go right ahead!
WilwoWaggins
Not my kind of thing. I think the poster's point is to watch for double standards. Falsely accusing can ruin a life. The publicity counts.
Grimdude
Well, he basically got away with rape so... it's a bit different.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
Well, to be fair, she hasn't been convicted, so if we're actually going along with this "innocent until proven guilty" belief, it shouldn't.
mgmegadog
There's a difference between convicted and proven guilty. If it's clear that they didn't rape her, she's guilty, even if they don't convict.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
FUCK EVER PERSON THAT AN IMGURIAN THINKS IS GUILTY!
mgmegadog
If it is proved that she lied, and she did so under oath, then she is guilty. Courts don't always convict the guilty. See Brock Turner.
nrkst
Huh. It's almost like men rape women far more than women falsely accuse men of rape or something. Must be a conspiracy.
RaisinZetaJones
How is that relevant? At all? How is the frequency of the crime in any way related to hire much publicity am individual perpetrator gets?
lookinatdumbshitontheinternet
I cannot fucking believe this is getting downvotes.
Grimdude
But hey, Imgur totally doesn't hate women!
c0smicj0ker

WilwoWaggins
The whole behavior is muddles with fuzzy lines and both things suck.
nrkst
Turner raped someone & got away with it. This girl maybe falsely accused rape & you point out that this girl should be treated like him. Nah
WilwoWaggins
*muddled
nrkst
Post whatever you want but if you decide to take time to slander this girl as opposed to Brock Turner you're selling something.
TheRealHS
Firstly, I don't think you understand what slander means. Secondly, he's been shit on plenty, everyone who does this sort of thing should.
WilwoWaggins
I don't want to publicize that girl. I don't know the damages the accused endure. They both got what a judge decided they deserved.
WilwoWaggins
We did not sit on the jury and have no right to punish either further. But if you think one smear is just than both would be.
nrkst
as if being accused of rape is equally as bad as being raped. Suuuure, fuzzy lines.
TheRealHS
It's not a competition. Both ruin your life.
nrkst
Triage.
binghams
How is this any less severe? What's important is that we stamp out a culture that treats the idea of rape lightly.
spetcnaz
Yeah I don't think anyone is taking rape as a light crime. That is some serious BS
lookinatdumbshitontheinternet
Oh come on, repeatedly posting one convicted rapist is in total proportional balance with posting many alleged false accusations, you WHORE.
spetcnaz
What does that have to do how rape is treated in western society? Are you seriously going to argue that rape is treated as a light crime?
Molder12
Right. That shit Is devastating man. It doesn't just effect the victim either
ohaiwirefly
Right there. Nail on the head. Exactly why we have to take lying about it so seriously, no matter how rarely it actually happens.
davidsarif
That doesn't necessarily follow, if a crime is incredibly rare in comparison and already has jail time punishment it's maybe not as urgent
ohaiwirefly
I think it might seem pretty urgent to the people whose lives and reputations are being destroyed by said crime. It isn't the same as 1/2
