Officials had been tight-lipped with details on August and October sexual-assault reports; they now allege a woman fabricated the claims that renewed scrutiny on the school’s response practic…
A Stanford University employee who authorities say twice reported last year that she was viciously dragged out of sight on campus and raped — touching off student uproar and renewing scrutiny on the renowned college’s diligence in addressing sexual assault — has been criminally charged with fabricating the claims.
Records show that Gries was being booked Wednesday at the Santa Clara County jail, and that her initial bail amount was set at $25,000. A few months before the campus rape reports, she reportedly was the source of a human resources complaint claiming she became pregnant with the man’s twins after he raped her, which was deemed unfounded when no evidence could be provided that she was ever pregnant.
But Gries reportedly never firmly identified her male co-worker as the target of her claims until this past January, where in a recorded interview with DA Investigator Sheena Woodland, Gries “admitted to lying about the rapes and wrote an apology letter to the target of the false allegations who was the same person as the human resources investigation.”
