LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A woman convicted of lying to police about being the victim of an anti-gay attack had acknowledged that she violated her probation and now faces possible jail time.
Charlie Rogers on Friday told Lancaster County Judge Thomas Fox that she did not report to jail on Jan. 15 to finish a 90-day jail sentence.
Fox found Rogers violated her probation. Rogers faces up to a year behind bars if the judge revokes her probation.
Rogers, a former University of Nebraska-Lincoln basketball player, was convicted of lying to police about being attacked by masked men and having anti-gay slurs carved into her skin.
Prosecutors say Rogers faked the attack because she thought it would inspire change in the treatment of gay people.
