Former student Nikki Yovino admitted to falsely accusing two football players from Sacred Heart University of rape and now wants an early end to her probation by cutting it in half.
Her request was wisely denied by Superior Court Judge Tracy Lee Dayton.
The judge cited the fact that Yovino had previously agreed to the plea bargain sparing her a six-year jail sentence in her 2018 trial after she admitted to lying about the rape by the accused football players.
A last-minute plea deal had Yovino serve less than a year in her own version of "Orange is the New Black." In addition, she was to also serve three years of probation and has already served half of that now.
The Connecticut Post reported that Yovino wasn’t present in the court room for the hearing and that her attorney, not the actor, Ryan O’Neill, told the judge his client wanted to go home to Long Island after living in Ridgefield with relatives.
“Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Tatiana Messina opposed probation reduction arguing that Yovino has not presented any proof that she underwent a mental health evaluation and treatment as required by her probation,” the outlet reported.
Which begs the question: if she failed to go along with the probation requirements, why isn't she back in the slammer? Comely
In 2016, the comely coed accused two football players of sexually assaulting her after a party off the SHU campus. She lied that two men pulled her into a bathroom in the basement and sexually assaulted her.
She told the cops that she replied to the two men that, “I don’t want to be in here, I don’t want to do anything. My friends are waiting for me outside, let me go outside.”
As it turns out, both football players agreed that they had sex with Yovino but said it was consensual, and to add credence to their claims, a witness testified that Yovino said she wanted to have sex with the two athletes.
Police detectives all noted “inconsistencies in [Yovino’s] original statement.”
First she said she was sexually assaulted, then later, at her trial, claimed she never said that she told that to the police. This was rather mind-blowing since her own lawyer had previously argued that in court.
“Our defense is that these two young men did things to her that were a sexual assault and were against her will,” O’Neill told Superior Court Judge William Holden [the judge, not the late actor] during a pretrial hearing in March 2018, according to the Post. “She had a reasonable belief that she was speaking the truth about what she said occurred.”
On the witness stand, Assistant State’s Attorney Emily Trudeau asked the fake victim, “You never told law enforcement you were sexually assaulted?” after she made her claim.
“No, I never said I was sexually assaulted,” Yovino lied.
Trudeau asked her why then were the police were investigating a sexual assault. Yovino, then 19, said she didn’t know. She underwent a rape testing kit, as opposed to a consensual sex-testing kit, just before talking to police about the incident in 2016.
“I never told [the detective] I was sexually assaulted. I told him that something happened in the bathroom at the party with these two guys, that I didn’t want to happen,” Yovino testified.
Yovino made up the story of being raped in order to avoid losing a friend she believed would be a "potential boyfriend." Gee, I wonder how that worked out.
The two falsely accused SHU football players filed a lawsuit against Yovino and the school.
