On January 16th of this year just after 9:00 a.m.36 year old Lynnea Dawn Graves and 32 year old Jada Simone Holloway reported to police they were missing personal items and believed they had been drugged. They also told police they didn't recall what happened yet told police they believed they may have been sexually assaulted. The women said they had attended the Baby Bash concert at the Phaze bar in Loveland, on Sunday evening, January 15th and don't remember anything after leaving the bar until they woke up the following morning at the Hilton. Hotel surveillance images show they checked into the Hilton around 1:30 a.m. with three unidentified males.
"Since the original report we've done multiple interviews with people who have been involved and we've identified the three males," said Sgt. Kristy Volesky with the Crimes Against Persons Unit of the Fort Collins Police Department.
It was determined the parties had engaged in consensual sex.
"Based on all the interviews that we've done and the statements received the sexual contact that occurred was consensual," Volesky said.
As a result of the investigation, the two women were then arrested.
Lynnea Graves and Jada Holloway have been charged with attempting to influence a public servant and criminal extortion, and Jada Holloway's been charged with both of those crimes as well as with criminal tampering," said Volesky.
Police say that during their investigation the statements by the two women began to change.
"To a certain extent we've had them change their statements which has kind of played into the probable cause to charge them," Volesky said.
As a result the three men have been cleared of any wrongdoing.
"We presented the case to the District Attorney's office and determined there's not probable cause to charge the males with sexual assault," said Volesky.
Warrants were issued and the women turned themselves in to the Loveland Police Department on Wednesday, February 29.

Another Durham District Attorney Who Disregarded the Rights of the Presumptively Innocent is Ousted
Durham, North Carolina -- again.
In 2006, three innocent Duke lacrosse players were wrongly charged with rape by Durham's now-disbarred district attorney Mike Nifong.
Now, a successor to Mr. Nifong has been ousted. Superior Court Judge Robert H. Hobgood today ordered that Durham District Attorney Tracey E. Cline, 48, be permanently removed because her blatantly false public statements criticizing Durham Senior Resident Judge Orlando F. Hudson Jr. undermined public confidence in the judicial system. Judge Hobgood terminated Cline's state salary, effective immediately.
Cline's vendetta against Judge Hudson started when Judge Hudson determined the Durham DA's office had withheld or destroyed evidence that could have helped defendants accused of child rape and murder. Thereafter, Cline launched an acrimonious effort last year to remove Hudson from overseeing criminal cases involving her office.

Woman's rape lie causes ex-boyfriend to be arrested
Bolingbrook police: Woman lied about sex assault
Reported here: http://heraldnews.suntimes.com/news/10922041-418/bolingbrook-police-woman-lied-about-sex-assault.html
BOLINGBROOK — Police say a woman made up a story that led to her ex-boyfriend’s arrest on sexual assault charges.
Will County Sheriff’s police arrested Liz S. Romero, 20, on an outstanding warrant for making a false police report Feb. 22.
Bolingbrook Lt. Mike Rompa said Romero called police Dec. 27 claiming her ex-boyfriend had broken into her 314 Woodcreek Drive apartment and kidnapped her at knifepoint.
“(She claimed) he then took her to a vacant home on the 300 block of Kirkwood Circle, where he allegedly battered and sexually assaulted her,” Rompa said. “The alleged suspect was taken into custody and transported to the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center.”
But investigators later reportedly determined “many details” in Romero’s story were false and reviewed charges against her with the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Two Men’s Lives Destroyed by False Rape Claim
The following post originally appeared at Glenn Sacks.com on February 6, 2009, by Pierce Harlan:
The following news story is Shakespearean in the scope of its tragedy. A female teen’s false rape claim led to the murder of the innocent youth she falsely accused, reports a Dublin newspaper here, but the girl will not serve jail time (Herald.ie, 2/6/09). The false accuser’s boyfriend, however, has been sentenced to seven years imprisonment for his involvement in the murder.
The teenage girl, then 15, falsely told her boyfriend that an innocent Nigerian youth, Sumbo Owoiya, 18, raped her in the apartment where Mr. Owoiya lived with his family. In fact, Owoiya had no connection whatsoever with any such alleged rape.
The boyfriend contacted an unnamed third party with the intent that the third party give the purported culprit “a hiding” (a thrashing).
The news account reports that the girl drove the boyfriend to meet the third party. The girl and the boyfriend then drove the third party, who was armed, to the innocent youth’s apartment. The girl noticed that the third party had a gun and allegedly tried to dissuade the men from going up to the innocent youth’s apartment. There is no indication in the news account that she actually admitted to them that, in fact, she had not been raped.
The girl waited in the car while the boyfriend and the gunman went to the apartment. The innocent youth apparently was looking through a peep hole when the gunman shot him through the door, and the teen died a short time later.
Both the boyfriend and the girl were convicted of manslaughter. The gunman remains at large. The boyfriend was sentenced to seven years imprisonment, but the girl was given only a three and one-half year suspended sentence.
The reason for the sentencing disparity? The girl allegedly tried to dissuade her boyfriend and the gunman from going to the apartment, and the boyfriend was “dominant in the ‘plotting and planning.’”
Two males have had their lives destroyed as a result of a girl’s false rape claim. An innocent teenage male is dead, underscoring the tragic truth that once unleahsed, a rape lie can destroy lives with a stunning, tragic completeness. Men and boys falsely accused of rape have been beaten, have been fired from their jobs, have seen their businesses destroyed, and have lost their wives and girlfriends. And, yes, some are killed and even kill themselves. In a most tragic sense, Sumbo Owoiya paid the ultimate price simply for being born male.
For his part, the false accuser’s boyfriend will spend years behind bars due to his attempt to exact vengeance for a wrong that never occurred. He, of course, had no way of knowing that the wrong had never occurred. His vigilante justice cannot be condoned, but his overreaction upon hearing that his girlfriend was raped is something that most men can at least understand.
For her part, the false accuser will not serve jail time. She was given credit during sentencing for purportedly trying to dissuade her boyfriend and the gunman from going up to the innocent youth’s apartment. It is most perplexing, and unjust, that she should be rewarded for her conduct because, in point of fact, she likely had it within her power to prevent any harm befalling the innocent youth simply by confessing to her boyfriend and the gunman that she had lied about being raped. She knew or had reason to know that the boy could be murdered, but she allowed it to occur.
And, of course, she could have avoided the entire affair by not lying about rape in the first place.

Teen girl's rape lie led to murder of 17-year-old boy
In the course of the trial, Jessica Klork, 18, took the stand and admitted under oath to lying about being raped by Stephen Lyne. Klok admitted that she communicated the lie to the assailant. The assailant stabbed and killed Stephen in retaliation for the alleged rape of Klok.
"I lied that Stephen Lyne had raped me," the rape accuser told the court. "It was just a blatant, disgusting lie."
The young victim's sister, Sophia Lyne, testified that before her brother's death, the assailant repeated the rape allegation to her and was "really mad and angry" about it. Ms. Lyne said that the assailant had told her that he was "going to get Stephen himself for this" and that he was going to stab him.
Another witness verified that the rape lie was the assailant's motivation for the stabbing.
Stephen's mother broke down on the stand as she described the last time she saw her son alive.
