A former Marshall University student has been cleared of charges he falsely reported that he and a friend were gang raped in a dorm room last year.
The case drew scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Education after The Charleston Gazette revealed Marshall recorded it in a file the school newspaper didn't know existed.
This week, a Cabell County jury acquitted Danny Mills of misdemeanor charges of filing a false report and obstructing a police investigation.
Marshall police charged Mills after he reported that he and a female friend were raped by his roommates.
The woman filed a report but didn't press charges. Nor did campus police charge her.
Marshall chief of staff Matt Turner says the prosecutor believed his evidence was strong enough to take Mills to trial.

The system and law enforcement have few problems believing females who claim to be victims of rape, sexual assault/assault. Did they have any problems believing these men? I believe they did as feminists claimed victimhood for "women only".Law enforcement cannot change what they have allowed/authorized to happen. Murderers cannot unmurder. Rapists cannot unrape. Assaulters cannot unassault. I,as a taxpayer revoke their immunity/impunity (sp?). They assisted in creating this mess, to make names for themselves. Look at how many innocent men have been exonerated by the Innocence Project. Had law enforcement demanded tools to discover the truth, innocent men would not have had hours/days/weeks/months/years/decades of their innocent lives stolen.
Usually the media don't name the accuser in a rape case--sometimes even after
the accusation is shown to be false.
Here the accuser is named--and now has to bear the stigma of having been raped.
(so why isn't the media policy consistent? Does the gender of the victim matter?)
