Jennifer is a 25-year-old employee of the esteemed Stanford University. She came into the news after making false claims of being r*ped twice on campus in one year. 

Six months after making her first claim, Jennifer’s lies were caught, and the authorities arrested her on Wednesday, March 15th, 2023. 

She was charged with felony perjury for allegedly lying about being r*ped twice last year on campus. 

Jennifer Ann Gries, of Santa Clara, first reported a false s*xual attack in August when she told a nurse at Valley Medical Center in San Jose that a man grabbed her while she was at a campus parking lot, dragged her to a restroom, and s*xually assaulted her. 

In October, she went to Stanford Hospital to get another r*pe examination.

She told the nurse conducting the exam that she was returning to her office from lunch when a man grabbed her arm, forced her into a basement storage closet, and r*ped her. 

According to the prosecutors, she denied speaking with the police both times. 

Both of Gries’ s*xual assault examination kits were analyzed quickly because the claims she made posed a grave risk to the safety of young women. 

The prosecutors in Jennifer’s case said that the lab results were not consistent with her accounts of assault. 

On both occasions, prosecutors said she signed a consent form acknowledging the nurse was a mandated reporter who must inform law enforcement of the attack and signed forms to get public funds.

At the beginning of this year, Gries admitted to lying about the r*pes during an interview with the District Attorney’s Office investigator. 

Reportedly, she also wrote an apology letter to the man who was the target of her false claims. 

“She stated she was upset with the victim because she felt he gave her ‘false intention’ and turned her friends against her,” prosecutors said.

Gries was charged with two felony counts of perjury and two misdemeanor counts of making a false crime report to nurses at two different hospitals. 

Stanford has placed Gries on a leave of absence, and the university “will be reviewing her employment.”

“These false reports are damaging, both for true survivors of s*xual assault and for the members of our community who experienced fear and alarm from the reports,” the university said.
