Woman Who Claimed Being Raped Admits Lying; Pleads Guilty to False Report,Gets 1 Year in Prison

A young Long Island woman, who spent over a year insisting that she was raped by two Sacred Heart University football players, officially admitted in court yesterday that she has been lying the entire time, the NY Post website reports today (June 6, 2018).

Nikki Yovino, 19, pleaded guilty to charges of falsely reporting an incident and interfering with police.

The former college student accepted a plea deal, and will now serve a reduced sentence of one year in prison. She had been facing six years in prison, but agreed to plead guilty just as her false rape trial was about to begin.

Yovino had claimed that the two football players took turns raping her in a bathroom of an off-campus house party. While both men admitted to having sex with Yovino, they said the sex was completely consensual.
