LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln woman convicted of an anti-gay hate crime hoax denies that she’s violated terms of her probation.
A judge on Monday set a March 13 hearing for 36-year-old Charlie Rogers. She faces up to a year behind bars if a judge revokes the probation.
Rogers is a former University of Nebraska-Lincoln basketball player who was convicted of lying to police about being attacked by masked men who carved anti-gay slurs into her skin. She has said she’s a lesbian.
Prosecutors said Monday that Rogers didn’t complete the required 250 hours of community service, pay court costs or report Jan. 15 to begin her 90-day jail sentence. Rogers denied the allegations.
