After some criticism over why her office didn't press charges against the Hofstra student who falsely accused five men of raping her in a dorm bathroom, Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice explained that her main goal was to get a public admission of guilt, "This is a big deal. You look at the Duke case and at the Tawana Brawley case and you see that those women never admitted to anything."

Last week, Nassau County DA Kathleen Rice announced that the Hofstra student who falsely accused five men of gang raping her in a dorm bathroom would not face criminal charges. Instead, 18-year-old Danmell Ndonye, who is now suspended from the school, later admitted that she had consensual sex with four of the men and agreed to undergo mental health counseling andperform 250 hours of community service. Now, lawyers for two of the falsely accused have differing opinions about Ndonye's "punishment."
