The false stories had Stanford University students fearing that a serial rapist was loose on campus.
A 25-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday for allegedly lying about being sexually assaulted while working at Stanford University, according to prosecutors.
Both incidents sparked campus-wide alerts to students and staff about a possible serial rapist on campus. In October, Gries claimed she was raped again while she was working in a front office at the university and forced into a basement storage closet. She described the same attacker to a nurse at Stanford Hospital.
On two separate occasions, Gries signed an application to receive benefits as a crime victim with the California Victim Compensation Board, according to authorities. The work complaint was found to be unproven and Gries was reassigned to work in another area. But Gries told a friend who also worked at the university that she was romantically involved with the man whom she made the complaint against, according to investigators. Gries claimed the man sexually assaulted her and that she became pregnant with his twins, which investigators found not to be true, prosecutors said.
In January, Gries admitted to an investigator with the district attorney’s office that she lied about the sexual assaults, prosecutors said. She then wrote an apology letter to the man who was named in her worked-related complaint and the target of her false sexual assault reports, according to investigators.
