BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A former Connecticut university student
accused of lying about being raped by two university football
players is seeking to have the charges against her dismissed.

The Connecticut Post reports former Sacred Heart University
student Nikki Yovino filed an application in court Friday saying
she’s suffering from a psychiatric disability.

that program she could have the charges dismissed.
