Fake rape victim ready to fake mental issues to avoid jail

Long Island woman Nikki Yovino was only 18 when she lied about being raped in a bathroom by two school football players at her Connecticut college. 

Yovino later admitted, after inconsistencies in her story were found, that she had consensual sex with the two young men in a bathroom in order to win the sympathy of a third guy she wanted to have a sexual relationship with, or something like that. 

Other witnesses also confirmed that she went into the bathroom with the players willingly.

The two young men accused of the crime lost their sports scholarships and were suspended from the team--more than a mere 'bummer'.

Now the case is back in court and the young liar is hoping to have the opportunity to forgo any punishment for her crime and be declared mentally ill on some undisclosed mental health issue. I believe it may possibly be DSM-5 diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder.

But, unlike Trump-haters, I will not suggest she does, in fact, suffer from BPD--I will leave that up to you.

However, we cannot overlook the diagnostic criteria: 
a) Impulsivity: Acting on the spur of the moment in response to immediate stimuli; acting on a momentary basis without a plan or consideration of outcomes; difficulty establishing or following plans;; a sense of urgency and self-harming behavior under emotional distress.
b) Risk taking: engagement in dangerous, risky, and potentially self-damaging activities, unnecessarily and without regard to consequences; lack of concern for one's limitations and denial of the reality of personal danger.
During a brief hearing, a Bridgeport, CT judge granted Yovino's request that her lawyer be present as she undergoes a psychological exam to help determine her eligibility to receive a "Get Out of Responsibility Card" and keep her out of the slammer for ruining the hopes and dreams of two young athletes.

The charges, if she's convicted, could get her five years in prison.

"She's hanging in there," her lawyer, Mark Sherman said of Yovino, making her sound heroic rather than the selfish liar that she is. "She's looking for a result in this case that would not involve jail time," he said, meaning that she hopes they'll think she's crazy enough to get away with her crime.

Prosecutors are against her being enrolled in the 'get-out-of-jail' Supervised Diversion program, which, if she can successfully complete, will get the charges of falsely reporting an incident and tampering with physical evidence dismissed.

However, it will not get the two football players their scholarships back.

After court on Friday, Yovino's mother practically ran out of Bridgeport Superior Court without speaking to reporters.

So, as the Jolly Green Giant once said, "No justice, no peas."
