False Rape Allegation

This story of a Hofstra freshman who engaged in group sex, was confronted by her boyfriend and, instead of admitting what she did voluntarily, cried, "rape!" reminds me of a very similar situation from my own college days.

A girl I knew of had sex in a community area of a dorm with someone other than her boyfriend and borrowed his sweatshirt. When she got back to her room her boyfriend was there. He asked her where she got the sweatshirt. She told her boyfriend that she had been raped and that the rapist had given it to her. In the end, the details came out but not before it caused a lot of pain for the accused.
