Nikki Yovino, Who Accused Two Sacred Heart Football Players of Rape for a Year, Admits In Court It Was All Just a Vicious Lie

What exactly is it that is spurring young women to contrive the most vicious lies and slurs imaginable? Shouldn't police and psychologists be interested in discovering if there is any pattern or cluster of psychological inclinations that link false accusers?

While both men admitted to sleeping with her, they claimed that the sex was completely consensual. Their lawyer, Frank Riccio II, told the CT Post on Tuesday that they are now thinking about suing Yovino for all the trouble she put them through.
