BRIDGEPORT - Two Sacred Heart University football players who were suspended from the team and lost their scholarships last year following r@pe allegations have been cleared after police said the young woman recanted her story.
Police said 18-year-old Nikki Yovino, of South Setauket, N.Y., has been 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.
After surrendering to police here Yovino was released after posting $150,000 bond.
Yovino’s lawyer, Mark Sherman, of Stamford, said he hadn’t seen the arrest warrant affidavit but continued, “My client denies the allegations and stands by her original story.”
One of the students has now been allowed readmission to the school but without his scholarship and he is no longer on the football team.
“Whenever there is any kind of incident at Sacred Heart University, we go to great lengths to ensure due process for all parties involved,” said SHU Spokeswoman Deborah Noack. “The way that this particular case is playing out certainly demonstrates the validity of our procedures.”
The names of the two students is being withheld by Hearst Connecticut Media to prevent further victimization. The lawyer for one of the students said his client does not want to comment on Yovino’s arrest and want to put the incident behind him.
According to that affidavit,
when Police Detective Walberto Cotto Jr. pressed Yovino about inconsistencies in her original statement she admitted she had made up the allegations against the two young men in the hope of gaining sympathy from a prospective boyfriend.
On Oct. 15, police were dispatched to St. Vincent’s Medical Center for a s3xual assault complaint. Police said Yovino told them she had attended a Sacred Heart football club party the night before at a house at Lakeside Drive here.
Police said the girl claimed the two men pulled her into a bathroom in the basement of the house.
“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,” police said she claims she told the men.
They said she continued that they held her down and each took a turn s3xually assaulting her.
Police said both men admitted having s3x with Yovino in the bathroom, but said it was consensual.
Both students agreed to withdraw from the university after they were stripped of their scholarships and as they were about to go before a disciplinary hearing.
Detective Cotto later questioned Yovino again after
other students told them it appeared Yovino had gone willingly into the bathroom with the men.
One student said he had overheard Yovino telling the men she wanted to have s3x with them, the affidavit states.
“She admitted that she made up the allegation of s3xual 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.
