Both men later admitted to having sex with Yovino, but contended the encounter was consensual, police said.<\/p>\n<p>Three months later, Yovino admitted that she \u201cmade up\u201d the accusation during an interview with a police detective at her Long Island home, the Connecticut Post reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe 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\u2019t want to lose [another male student] as a friend and potential boyfriend,\u201d an arrest warrant affidavit states.<\/p>\n<p>Yovino thought the encounter might make the other student \u201cangry and sympathetic to her,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n<p>Superior Court Judge Tracy Lee Drayton denied Yovino\u2019s request while noting that she had previously agreed to a plea deal in the case.<\/p>\n<p>Yovino, who did not attend the hearing, is now living with relatives in Ridgefield, but wants to return to Long Island, her attorney told a judge.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Ryan O\u2019Neill declined to comment following the hearing, the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>paper reports.<\/p>\n<p>A prosecutor said she opposed any reduction to Yovino\u2019s probation, citing a lack of proof that she underwent a mental health evaluation and treatment, both of which were conditions of her probation, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>The two former students, meanwhile, are suing Yovino, claiming the bogus rape complaint forced them to leave the Fairfield University.<\/p>\n<p>One of the men, Malik St. Hilaire, told a judge during Yovino\u2019s sentencing that he had \u201cno way\u201d to clear his name following the accusations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just hope she knows what she has done to me, my life will never be the same,\u201d St. Hilaire said in court. \u201cI did nothing wrong, but everything has been altered because of this.\u201d\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more News articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/08\/26\/li-woman-who-made-false-rape-claims-denied-probation-reduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Long Island woman who made false rape claims denied probation reduction&#8221; August 26, 2020 | 11:07am Enlarge Image Standing beside her lawyer Ryan O&#8217;Neill, Nikki Yovino is sentenced one year in jail in Superior Court in Bridgeport, Conn.
