Hofstra Student Lies about Rape

Hofstra University student, Danmell Ndonye, could face criminal charges after lying to police about being gang-raped at a fraternity party.

Ndonye told police that five men took her cell phone at an on-campus nightclub and lured her into a dormitory men's room and then tied her up and sexually assaulted her.

Four gentlemen Rondell Bedward, Jesus Ortiz, Kevin Taveras and Stalin Felipe, were arrested and arraigned on rape and other charges. They were held in contempt until a video of the encounter surfaced and Ndonye recanted her story.

Investigators said the video of the sexual encounter shows Ndonye consenting to the "sex romp." According to Victor Daly-Rivera, the video "looked like a porn movie. It showed just the opposite of what the allegations were. There was no tying up, there was no bruising, there was no screaming," according to the FoxNews.com.

Ndonye later confessed to police that she had made up the charges because she had been afraid to tell her boyfriend about the illicit bathroom encounter. The four gentlemen were released from prison on Wednesday night after spending three nights in jail. The charges have been dropped, but now investigators are deciding what penalty Ndoyne should face. So far, Ndonye has been suspended from school, pending a disciplinary hearing. Whether or not she receives criminal charges, Ndonye should definitely be expelled from the institution. Her actions were about to ruin the lives and reputation of four men..who's to say that if the video tape didn't surface that she would've told the truth?

Regardless, this girl needs serious counseling...not only was she wrong for lying about the encounter, but she had no business having sex with four guys anyway. She needs prayer and guidance.
