KU student went to cops to report a rape. Now she's the one charged with a crime.
In September 2018 a University of Kansas student met with police officers outside Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
She explained to an officer that she had been raped the day before. The details, however, were blurry because she was drunk at the time, she said, according to court documents.
Worried about what reporting a rape could mean for her career, she told officers she did not want to press charges. But she allowed them to look through her phone before going inside for a rape examination.
