Hofstra University has suspended the 18-year-old freshman student who falsely accused five men—four of whom were arrested and jailed—of gang raping her in a Hofstra dorm after an on-campus party Sunday morning. Now the student, identified by the Post and WCBS 2 as Danmell Ndonye, may face criminal charges as Nassau County DA Kathleen Rice said, "I have launched an immediate criminal investigation into the statements and reports given by the woman in connection with this incident."
In a press conference today, Rice (who did not identify the woman) said the student recanted after a long interview with prosecutors and a detective. Newsday also reports that the student made the false claim after returning to her dorm room and speaking with her boyfriend on Sunday. Rice said, "The story of the accuser slowly but steadily began to unravel. The turning point was when she was confronted with the fact that there may be a video" of the bathroom encounter (more on that below). Rice added, "Her actions and demeanor suggest a very troubled young woman in need of some help."
Last night, the four men, Bronx residents Rondell Bedward, 21, Stalin Felipe, 19, and Jesus L. Ortiz, 19, and Brentwood resident Kevin R. Taveras, were released. Bedward, who attends Hofstra, also had his suspension lifted. While they were relieved, they (understandably) upset by the fake allegations. Taveras told the Daily News, "In life and in jail, rapers and molesters are seen as the scum of the earth, the lowest of the low. We were scared." He also said to Newsday, "I think they should have gathered more evidence.. looked at camera footage and tried to match up times and things like that before throwing us in and letting the wolves get us... You have to change your mentality because you're inside, knowing you're innocent and everyone is saying you're guilty. It was said so many times that 'You're guilty,' I myself thought I was guilty... It was like a nightmare.
Video was apparently taken by the fifth man of the encounter in the dorm bathroom. Taveras' lawyer said, "It showed just the opposite of what the allegations were. There was no tying up, there was no bruising, there was no screaming," adding it was more like a "porn movie."





this woman needs cage time.
She'll get couch time.
No pics of the girl?
It's hard to get a shot of someone who rarely comes up for air.
Wait ... so now that the 4 men's participation is "consensual," they're angels.
Right.
"And all my friend were vampires
Didn't know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself
In the Devil Town ... "
These kids went to jail for false accusations rape -which probably almost got them raped themselves - and now you're judging them because they had sex.
Great. American moral outrage triumphs again.
Wrong chief. Read the lyrics again. Sounds like you're outraged about another's outrage. Intolerant about another's perceived intolerance. To everything, turn, turn, turn...
Fuck your lyrics.
If you have something to say be an adult and sayit.
And the statement above the lyrics in your own words shows you to be a shit.
Being wrongly accused, especially of rape, is not cool.
Did you vote for Obama??
Keep fucking that chicken.
What does this mean??? I think Ernie just started something.
Also lol at Jesus and Stalin in a gangbang.
That sounds like a joke.
I'm almost surprised the vid didn't hit the net in the time before the false rape allegations hit.
...with Gandhi and a rabbi...
Keep going... Jesus, Stalin, Gandhi, and a Rabbi walk into a gang bang. Jesus turns to Stalin and says...
STOP SHOWING PHOTOS OF THESE GUYS.
They're innocent, remember?
But the photos let us look upon their exonerated faces and peer deep into their innocent eyes, allowing all who gaze upon them to know in their heart of hearts what angels look like.
not every picture in a blog is used for vigilante justice, idiot.
gross. The whole thing is really gross.
Well, except for the sex. That's hot.
Seeing Stalin's junk = not hot
"I'm actually very happy that the truth finally came out. I'm blessed. My family is here right now to pick us up and I'd just like to thank everybody for your support out there. The truth is finally out. I prayed to God on the inside that everything would work out.
Yes I'm sure everyone is proud that you didn't gang rape that girl. You just gang banged her. Such a touching family story; I hope you would share your experience this Sunday at church.
Gangbanged her and made a video of it, possibly. There was some mention of videos on camera phones.
Who are you, Mother Teresa? There's a legal distinction between gang rape and a consensual gang bang. Just because you're not sexually aware or open doesn't mean the rest of the world shouldn't be. Please, keep your Christian fundamentalism to yourself.
Um, the guy was the one who mentioned God, not me.
Yeah...I'm an atheist but I still say things like, "thank god" or "god bless you" or make other references to "God" just like the kid did. It doesn't mean I live my life according to the bible, drink Jesus's blood and eat his body every Sunday. Cut the kid some slack. If I was him I'd be praising a fictitious God also.
you're being an idiot
"There's a legal distinction between gang rape and a consensual gang bang."
Yes there is.
"Just because you're not sexually aware or open doesn't mean the rest of the world shouldn't be. Please, keep your Christian fundamentalism to yourself."
Yeah, gang bangs are so "expressive" - why not initiate YOUR children into them.
Morally deficient leftists ENJOY the gang banging of the WORLD - no morals, no right and wrong, no moral authority, until YOU come to power and take away free press, free speech and elections.
Thank you for showing what the left is all about -justifying the destruction of society under the guise of "freedom from judeo-christian tyranny".
PS - The idiot woman needs jail time for false accusations, and the four dick brains need to be expelled for SHITTY BEHAVIOR NOT CONDUCIVE TO A QUALITY WESTERN EDUCATION.
Could you please explain a little better why you had to qualify education as WESTERN?
Because we don't live under direct Chinese rule yet.
ipeditor,
Who are you to say that other people's sexual actions are "morally deficient"? As if you're the one with moral authority because you, unlike the rest of us non-believers, know what 'moral behavior' consists of. Here's some advice. Go to church this Sunday (and yes, I'm assuming you're a religious nutjob here) and ask your pious, moral, and sexually depraved priest how many altar boys he has molested this month. The truth will set you free.
Please film you and your mother sister and daughter getting gang-banged by your jihadi and communist friends.
How do you know God doesn't approve of gang bangs?
For reals. JC was hanging out with 12 dudes. Think a few them never got together to run a train?
You and Michaelangelo might be on to something...
the only crime here was the grammar
Are there NO pictures of this Danmell Ndonye???
I think her picture should be at the top of this article (of which SHE is the subject).
to be fair though those guys have PROBABLY raped someone.
why the fuck would you say that?
Because he hopes that one day they'll rape him.
Bah-zing!
I'm adding the movie to my Netflix queue.
Yo innocent gangbanging Hofstra university students! I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish but the Houston 500 was the best gangbang of all time!
waiting for this one!
next stop, the clinic for an AIDS test!
Alright, can we also lay off these guys for taking part in a "gang bang"? It was consensual sex with a crazy girl (they failed to appreciate how truly crazy), something they'd all surely seen many times on the internet and internalized as normal. Group sex is neither new nor insidious, and if everyone is having a good time, we're cool as cold cuts.
OF ALL TIME!!!
proof again that you should video-tape everything you do, and keep it in a safe place, just in case.
hahaha, that's funny!
because those videos will certainly NEVER end up online, right??
One of a man's worst nightmares...
I'm glad these guys are out after the news that the woman was lying, but would offer them one piece of advice : if you're getting into kinky sex, get written consent before the act.
The kinkier the sex, the more necessary the document. That would have saved these gents a lot of trouble in this fiasco.
No need. They just had to 'go to the videotape"
Oh and BTW
Lets stop calling the girl 'emotionally disturbed'
Lets call it what it is
A drunk girl goes WAY too far
She gets scared that the guys will talk or release the video, panics and accuses rape before they ruin her 'reputation'.
Realizes that she made the situation WORSE and tells everyone that she made it up out of guilt.
An 'emotionally disturbed' girl STAYS WITH THE STORY THROUGH HELL OR HIGH WATER aka Duke, T. Brawley etc..
This is just a girl who's a drunk, and a bit of a ho, and just cant admit it to herself yet
Maybe if 2nd wave femists stopped telling women that they are victims for wanting to have submissive sexual relations this wouldn't have happened.
It seems like the girl wanted the gangbang, then in the morning felt shame to the point where the only way she could live with herself is if she thought of herself as the victim.
Women need to embrace their sexuality a little bit more without having to fear being branded as a whore for doing so.
Sometime ago I read an article, written by a woman, about giving in to your inner whore.
She was dead serious about why female students feel the need to get drunk every week for blameless sex. Not only does this lead to bad sex, but also STDs, instead of embracing their sexuality.
"a very troubled young woman in need of some help..."
Or four hogs at the same time, depending...
Was she sealed airtight?
And still you insist on showing the picture of the real victims.
Geez.
From the News story
Taveras said now he has to exlain to his girlfriend what really happened.
DOH!!!
Hey Jen,
Do you have any morals? why do you keep on posting photo's of these guys? Why don't you post some photo's of the liar that tarnished the names of some innocent guys?
Take some responsibility!!!
So it's OK to gang-bang drunk girls? Or emotionally disturbed girls? It may have not been rape, but it was not model behavior from these..err... pillars of society. It should not have taken Freud to tell them that their porn movie wet dream come to life, might have been too good to be true, or might have been someone else's nightmare. They should have known something was wrong with the situation.
Yes it is.
You're undoubtedly looking forward to the lucky day when your drunk/emotionally disturbed daughter gets gang-banged. Enjoy while it lasts. They just grow up so fast.
It's called consensual sex for a reason.
You have no idea how consensual it was.
Is it so hard to fathom that the girl also had fun?
It's this kind of reflexive distrust of female sexuality that creates the social conditions that would motivate someone to actually lie about something like this in the first place (assuming she's not simply bat-shit insane).
She would rather be known as a rape victim (and accuse 5 men falsely) than to be known as someone who enjoys this sort of sex.
Thanks for doing your part.
If being a dirtbag were a crime, there would be more people in prison than on the street.
You obviously didn't go to NYU
Crazy chicks are hot.
Oh, and spare the the "emotionally disturbed" crap. Suppose I defended a rapist by saying he was "emotionally disturbed." This chick did something consensually that she wasn't proud of afterwords so decided to destroy the lives of four young men to cover her tracks.
Actually, it's not even clear that it was a "gang bang." At least of the lawyers says his client didn't have sex with her, none of the others have said whether they have or not and no one has said exactly what happened or what the video shows.
It may have been one of them, or maybe two. Or maybe all five and somebody's still lying about that. But the point is, we don't know.
She has a MySpace page...last updated on 7/31/09 with the mood of "virginal" or there's another Danmell Ndonye out there.
The visiting guys were caught up in this, the Hofstra student invited them to the nightclub perhaps because he knew of a sure thing and they willingly took part. They paid the price. The girl may be a foreign student here on a student visa. If they decide that she was guilty, she'll be thrown out of the country. She is not the only guilty one.
You seem to be adopting the stance that she was somehow exploited in this scenario -- that these guys had "fun" at her expense, and that they therefore are somehow "guilty" and deserve to be accused of rape and vilified.
Is it really so hard to fathom that the girl also had fun?

I think you live in a dream world.
Innocent before proven guilty. No matter what.
Long Island, AP: Five drunk Hofstra University males veered off into a ditch for cum. The first student escaped. After a few scary moments, they four others were finally pulled to safety with the aid of a cameraman, according to police. Charges against the ditch are pending.
And of course this blog has advertising right next to it, a crotch shot from the infamous American Apparel. Way to go, sleazebags!
Sounds like someone felt guilty for acting like a whore...
No matter how bad the regret only a truly fucked up person would let it make them wrongfully accuse someone, especially of rape.
Fuck this bitch. Everyone else has.
These guys are not soooo innocent either.... not such "Good Boys" like one of the mom's stated. Gangbanging a girl in a filthy men's room... yes , very respectful! NOT!!!
They're adults (all over the age of 18). They're exploring their sexuality. Who are you to say that other people's sexual exploits are 'disrespectful'. What if I told you your sexual actions were disrespectful. Am I right simply because my definition of sexual deviance encompasses an act that you do? What makes you think it's OK to judge other people in this way?
Sorry, but your opinion is not worth anything. Rape is one thing. Consensual sex, in any other form, is another.
Ok, so am I a bastard for wanting to see this video? I’ll bet it was taken with a cellphone…
I haven’t put it all together yet, but I feel that this video should somehow be part of this girl’s punishment
I feel bad for the chick's boyfriend.
Everyone here justifying gang-rape as "free-expression" should be repeatedly gang raped.
But only after their mother / sister /daughter.
mug shot photos of the hoffstra 'rapists' are still on this site
why?
because jen chung is the world's worst reporter, of course. And she rapes little boys supposedly.
