NOW Chapter Head Makes Up Rape Charge

The president of the Brevard Chapter of the National Organization for Women has been charged with making up a campus rape charge.

A 23-year-old Central Florida woman has been charged with making false statements about a rape that left Rollins College students scared to walk the campus, according to WKMG-TV in Orlando.

In November, Desiree Nall, told Winter Park police that she was raped by two men in a Rollins College bathroom.

"The college was on high alert and the neighborhood was in confusion because there was a lot of fear," Winter Park police spokesman Wayne Farrell said.

Investigators told WKMG-TV that Nall confessed to making up the story.

Nall is the president of the Brevard Chapter of the National Organization for Women, Local 6 News reported. Police said she may have been trying to make a statement when she lied about the rape.
