A 23-year-old Central Florida woman has been charged with making false statements about a rape that left Rollins College students scared to walk the campus, according to Local 6 News.
In November, Desiree Nall, (pictured, left) told Winter Park police that she was raped by two men in a Rollins College bathroom."The college was on high alert and the neighborhood was in confusion because there was a lot of fear," Winter Park police spokesman Wayne Farrell said.Investigators told Local 6 News that Nall confessed to making up the story.Nall is the president of the Brevard Chapter of the National Organization for Women, Local 6 News reported. Police said she may have been trying to make a statement when she lied about the rape."Lying about that story is absolutely horrible because women are victimized every day.," Rollins student Elizabeth Humphrey said. "And if we get the reputation of lying, then people won't start to believe us if it does happen."Local 6 News spoke with Nall's husband at the couple's home in Palm Bay. He would only say something did happen but the full story has not been told, according to the report.Nall could spend up to a year in jail and be forced to pay back tens of thousands of dollars police spent of the investigation.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
