BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A former Connecticut college student charged with lying about being raped by two university football players has lost a bid to obtain their school records.
The Connecticut Post reports a state judge in Bridgeport on Wednesday denied the records request by former Sacred Heart University student Nikki Yovino.
Lawyers for Yovino, of South Setauket, New York, say the documents may contain information from another woman who alleged she was groped by one of the same two players the same night Yovino alleges she was raped in 2016. They now intend to subpoena the documents.
Police say Yovino admitted lying because she worried the sexual encounter would damage her relationship with another student.
The two players said the sex was consensual.
Yovino and the two men withdrew from the Fairfield school.
