Feminism’s Excuse Factory: Nikki Yovino, Title IX and False Rape Accusations

Posted on | July 17, 2017 | 3 Comments

Nikki Yovino was a student at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn., last fall when she accused two of the university’s football players of raping her at a party. The football players both admitted they had sex with Yovino, but said it was consensual. Police say Yovino subsequently confessed she had fabricated the rape claim:

“She admitted that she made up the allegation of sexual assault against (the football players) because it was the first thing that came to mind and she didn’t want to lose (another male student) as a friend and potential boyfriend. She stated that she believed when (the other male student) heard the allegation it would make him angry and sympathetic to her,” the affidavit states.

Yovino, now 19, was charged with “charged with second-degree falsely reporting an incident and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence. The tampering charge is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.” Last month, prosecutors offered her a plea bargain of two years in prison, followed by three years’ probation. In a court appearance Friday, however, Yovino blamed her crime on mental illness:

Nikki Yovino filed an application in court Friday saying she’s suffering from a psychiatric disability, The Connecticut Post reports.
The 19-year-old from South Setauket, New York, will undergo a psychological evaluation. A judge will decide whether she qualifies for a pretrial diversionary program. If she qualifies and completes that program she could have the charges dismissed.
Prosecutors say they’ll contest Yovino’s request. . . .

Yovino’s motive for lying — fear that she’d lose a prospective boyfriend if he found out about her romp with two football players — is reminiscent of the motive for the rape hoax at UVA, where Jackie Coakley tried to catfish a guy she liked by inventing “Haven Monahan.” Coakley’s dramatic fictional gang-rape at a frat house, a desperate attempt to gain sympathy, became a national story in 2014 amid the campus “rape culture” hysteria ginned up by the Obama administration and its feminist allies. A major factor in that hysteria was the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) using Title IX to threaten universities for allegedly failing to punish sexual assault. This witch-hunt frenzy resulted in male students being falsely accused of rape and denied their due-process rights in campus kangaroo-court disciplinary proceedings.

Since Trump’s election, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has sought to curtail the OCR’s witch-hunt, which Scott Greenfield says led to “flagrant discrimination against males” on campus. Feminists have demonized DeVos for trying to end this anti-male discrimination. DeVos was branded a “powerful handmaiden to a hegemonic white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchy” by University of Kentucky lecturer Marta Mack-Washington. But the real problem on university campuses is not capitalism or patriarchy, it’s a culture of irresponsibility fueled by identity politics and “social justice” narratives of oppression and victimhood.

Nikki Yovino was caught lying because the day after she had sex with the football players, she went to a local hospital and, when she told medical personnel she’d been raped, they called in the police, whose investigation eventually exposed her deception. This is in stark contrast to the Title IX disciplinary proceedings where feminists believe accusations of sexual assault on campus (typically involving a “he-said/she-said” drunken hookup scenario) should be adjudicated. These campus procedures are deliberately slanted against male students (more than 100 of whom have filed lawsuits claiming they were falsely accused and denied their rights) because university administrators have accepted the feminist claim that false accusations are so rare as to be a negligible concern.

Professor Laura Kipnis caught a New York Times reporter misrepresenting the facts about false accusations. My friend Badger Pundit pointed out that alcohol is a major factor in campus sexual assault, and cited my 2015 blog post, “Why Do Drunk Sluts Get Drunk?” The point is that drunk people often do things they regret, and feminist “rape culture” discourse exploits these common feelings of morning-after remorse to convince teenage college girls that they are victims.

It should be self-evident that college girls who get drunk at parties do so with the idea of lowering their inhibitions and having "fun."

It is likewise self-evident that, in the hungover aftermath of blackout drunkenness, feelings of remorse are common.

Get twice-the-legal-limit drunk Thursday night, do regrettable things, and you'll feel ashamed when you regain consciousness on Friday.

What campus "rape culture" hysteria has done is to give drunk sluts the excuse that they're victims of HETEROPATRIARCHAL OPPRESSION.

What were the consequences of Nikki Yovino’s lies?

Agustin Sevillano, the lawyer for the now-former football players, who are not being identified, described what his clients went through as a result of Yovino’s rape allegations. They were scheduled for a school disciplinary hearing but, on the advice of legal council, agreed instead to withdraw from the university rather than face the chance of being expelled and having that on their records. He said one of his clients lost a football scholarship. They have also had to live with the stigma of being accused rapists, he said.

All this, because she was afraid of what her potential boyfriend would think about her hooking up with two football players. And, by the way, I believe a Catholic school like Sacred Heart University has every right to punish students for sexual misbehavior, even if it was entirely consensual. Sin is still sin, after all, and lying is also a sin.
