Stanford University employee arrested and charged after multiple phony campus rape claims

Jennifer Ann Gries, a 25-year-old Stanford University employee, was arrested after allegedly fabricating two on-campus rape allegations last year, prosecutors say.

"These false reports are damaging, both for true survivors of sexual assault and for the members of our community who experienced fear and alarm from the reports," Stanford University said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

Gries allegedly first reported she was sexually assaulted in August to staff at Valley Medical Center in San Jose. She told a nurse that a man she described as a "Black male, slender, young, 6 feet, late 20s" grabbed her from a campus parking lot and dragged her into a restroom, where he assaulted her, the DA said.
