Extended video: Charlie Rogers talks about violent attack - YouTube

Lesbian who reported 'hate crime' attack staged incident, Nebraska police say - CNN.com

A Nebraska "hate crime" that targeted an openly gay woman and that triggered responses from candlelight vigils locally to Facebook postings of support nationwide was staged by the alleged victim, authorities said Tuesday as they charged the woman with lying to police.
Charlie Rogers -- a former basketball player for the University of Nebraska who identifies herself as lesbian -- told police that three masked men entered her home on July 22, stripped her, tied her down, and carved homophobic slurs into her body before attempting to set her and the house on fire.

Lesbian who alleged Nebraska hate crime charged with lying about attack - U.S. News

Here is a response from the nbc article and the most important comment and outlook in regards to this whole fiasco:

"She is mentally ill... If she wasn't a lesbian, she would have claimed she was raped or beaten by a date or a stranger... If she were black, she would claim she was beaten by KKK Members or Neo-Nazi's...

You can't stop mentally ill people from doing crazy things and she no more "Represents" the LGBTIQ Community than the way that the Tucson Shooter, Loughner, "Represents" Liberals.

Crazy people will do crazy things for attention... And I'll bet this isn't the first time she's made assusations that could not be substantiated."--ShojoBakunyu

The woman is a loon, and needs psychiatric help.

Maybe so, but she could have potentially marred the good name of several innocent men if she had named her alleged "attackers" and wasted vital police resources, as well as time if she led them to go on a wild goose chase!

I think it is spelled and called munchausen syndrome, and I thought it was where a mother would hurt her child to get sympathy.

Why is this surprising? Gay people suffer from mental illness to begin with.

Really, please find the that illness in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
