Truckee Meadows Community College Police said Tuesday that an earlier report by a student that she was beaten, robbed and possibly sexually assaulted, was a hoax.
Officials said video evidence confirmed the woman was not on campus during the time she said the incident occurred on Oct. 19 in the Dandini campus parking lot, said TMCC spokesman Kyle Dalpe.
The student later withdrew her claims, and police say she will not be charged at this time.While the report was false, officials said they encourage people to continue to be vigilant with personal safety and always immediately report suspicious activity.

If the officials want to help to protect my "personal safety," they need to clear the streets of women who could send me to prison for many years with a rape lie. Almost one-half the population above a certain age (and it gets younger and younger all the time) is in danger of being in the wrong place at the wrong time where they will have their lives destroyed by a rape liar. It is attitudes such as that expressed by the police here that engenders more and more lies.
Disgraceful.

While I completely, what is with this rash of college girls making up crimes for no apparent reason?
Oops! I meant to type, "While I completely agree..."
Because it gets easier and easier to do so.
Not that long ago, a woman (or anyone) that falsely accused anyone else of a crime, especially as bad as rape, would get shunned for life. No one would even remotely want to be associated with her. The moment it came up that this person used the power of the law to imprison or persecute anyone innocent, they would wear a real scarlet letter.
Now, they either reward them (UK), or put them on the same level as women that actually were raped. In fact, the rape culture feminist movement LOVES false rape accusers far more than actual rape victims.
First, actual rape victims are withdrawn, and want nothing else other than lead a normal life despite their horrific ordeal. False Rape Accusers are loud, extroverted and very good publicly. They don't have the mental scars that actual victims have, and love nothing more than being in the news.
They are far more Hollywood than actual rape victims. Thus they sell better and make for better stories. Not to mention that they can and do embellish until their story is seriously like a movie.
So, they are the golden children of the new movement, and revel in the spotlight.
Not to mention, as Archivist and others have said, they get a free pass for ANYTHING they do, since they are, in the eyes of the general population, victims, and the single greatest crime nowadays is to question a "victim". No matter the truth, no matter facts.
So, to recap: good publicity, get out of jail free, rewarded, why would anyone NOT make a FRA?

Holy Crap!
I can WALK to TMCC from where I live...
It's just right over the hill - less that 1/4 of a mile...
I never heard of this -because I never watch the news or read the news anymore - it's all crap!
Anonymous - "While I completely, what is with this rash of college girls making up crimes for no apparent reason?"
I offered my thoughts on why this occurs a while back...let's see...it was about this time a year ago...right after a rash of college girls making FRA's...
Anyway, my theory as to why this time of year you see a series of college girls (typically freshmen, as I seem to recall) making FRA's is because, at most schools, the policy is that victims of violent crimes are not expected to be "on their game", and thus it would further victimize them to penalize them for decreased academic performance.
As I understand it, most schools will allow such victims to complete a semester (and perhaps an entire academic year on a pass/fail basis, with no effect on their GPA or class rankings.
My thought is that, as it always seems to happen mostly between the time of Midterms and Finals, that some young women realize that they've gotten themselves into a point of being behind the (grade point) curve, and are looking for a quick way out of where their excessive partying (etc) has gotten them.
One (to me, rather obvious) choice is to report that they are victims of a violent crime, and seek to be exempted from being graded. And, if, as a woman, one needs to fake a violent crime, there really isn't anything as easy fabricated nor as readily believed as that good old stand-by, the venerable FRA.
Again, it's just MY theory. Any hate-mail should be directed at me, and not the owner/operators of this blog.
"As I understand it, most schools will allow such victims to complete a semester (and perhaps an entire academic year on a pass/fail basis, with no effect on their GPA or class rankings."
Not that I doubt you, but do you have a source for that?
Charges Will Not be Filed Against UCLA Student Who Faked Abduction

Nancy Salas Police said a Glendale woman whose disappearance sparked a massive search made up a story that she'd been abducted and fled because of stress.
Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said Nancy Salas was reunited with her family in Glendale on Thursday night. She was last seen around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday after telling her family she was going on her usual run.
Lorenz said she turned up Thursday in Merced in central California, nearly 300 miles from Los Angeles.
Lorenz said Salas initially told police she had been abducted at gunpoint and driven to Merced, but she retracted her story shortly before she was reunited with her family.
He said Salas said she fled because of intense pressure.
Her parents believed she was weeks away from graduating at UCLA and were planning a party for her, but she had not been enrolled at UCLA since 2008.
"The student later withdrew her claims, and police say she will not be charged at this time.While the report was false, officials said they encourage people to continue to be vigilant with personal safety and always immediately report suspicious activity."
"I say, this is what mass hysteria is made of"
When Gender / Raunch professors, in effect, encourage young womens false rape accusations (for overall Empowerment reasons); and there is no one left to counter the agitation propaganda that foments irrational hysteria, who will protect the innocent???
ScareCrow
I totally agree with you.
The "news" is all crap. I don't watch it either.
If you do watch enough of it you will have a completely upside down view of the world.
Counterfeit rape is seen as an opportunity for young women to empower themselves.
Chivalry in the legal system has taught women that lying about rape is not wrong.
Feminism has taught women that lying about rape is not wrong because women don't lie about rape. Period.
Feminist groups, media, judges, juries, police, prosecutors, are all counterfeit rape enablers.
Counterfeit rape accusers are rewarded with money they usually don't pay back.
Counterfeit rape accusers are treated special because they are 'victims' that need help.
Counterfeit rape accusers are treated special because of the false belief that there is no such thing as false rape.
There are no laws specifically written against counterfeit rape.
Young women know this and use it to their advantage.
Counterfeit rape by women is manipulation of the system.
Counterfeit rape accusations are legal in all 50 states.
Please support new laws that will make falsifying a rape by anyone a felony.
"officials said they encourage people to continue to be vigilant with personal safety"
Oh I will, believe me. I will promise to protect myself to the best of my ability against any woman who would try and falsely accuse me of a crime for her own personal gain.
Slewerner, you have to see this. Go to the second video. It is terribly frightening.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was quite busy today (and probably for the next several weeks).
That students who've been victims of crimes can get help with issues concerning their grades (such as switching to a pass/fail status during a recovery period) is something I've heard several times from some of the victim advocates who my wife has dealt with regarding victims.
I don't know if schools publish their guidelines for considering student petitions for such changes. I'm not sure just what to search for. I tried a quick search, and came up with a few student guides that mention that students who become victims options, typically through a Dean of Student Affairs, but which don't give details on the procedures (for example see page 16 of this one from Duke - http://www.provost.duke.edu/pdfs/fhb/FHB_Chap_6.pdf [sorry, I couldn't resist picking that one given the "history" at that school]).
Your question to me is quite valid, seeing as how I've made allusions to the policies which I've heard exist at local schools (and which I have, admittedly, assumed to be wide-spread amongst colleges).
When I have a chance to talk with victim advocates, I will certainly inquire where I can get specific information about such policies.
It would definitely be a plus to have an on-line reference to demonstrate such policies. I wish I had one ready to go now. And I wish I had more time to do some research. Perhaps you might like to help search out such information?
Elly - "you have to see this. Go to the second video. It is terribly frightening."
I had heard about the incident at Yale. Yet, given that the intention of those who "haze" pledges is largely aimed at humiliating those pledges; this seems to me that this could simply be a matter of a very thoughtless and mean-spirited effort to force the pledges to have to do something that they would find extremely difficult and humiliating to have to do.
I do not take it to be a reflection of what (all) fraternity members actually feel and believe, but rather likely to have been an effort at a "smart-assed" response to what id often suggested to be the norm in frats. A rather short-sighted effort at defiance by a select few, carried out through their willing victims (pledges).
I'm inclined to put it down to sheer stupidity more than any truly evil intent (as some have suggested as the underlying motivation).
Just my opinion of course, and I could be wrong.
You didn't give your views of those events. So, what do you think?
"It would definitely be a plus to have an on-line reference to demonstrate such policies. I wish I had one ready to go now. And I wish I had more time to do some research. Perhaps you might like to help search out such information?"
I've been busy too, but I agree that at some point, we at FRS should dig up some primary source evidence of these policies.
"I'm inclined to put it down to sheer stupidity more than any truly evil intent (as some have suggested as the underlying motivation)."
Imho, it was mocking rape politics on campus. For years, the Yale Women’s Center have publicly branded all fraternity members as rapists.
"No means yes. Yes means anal" was originally written on feminist rape fliers posted on college campuses. It's a play on "No means no".
Every year, Take Back The Night does the same thing -- chanting in the streets about rape. And not once have they ever been asked to apologize for their "hate speech".
