   BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A former university student accused of lying   
   about being raped by two university football players is seeking to   
   have the charges against her dismissed.   
      
   The Connecticut Post reports former Sacred Heart University student   
   Nikki Yovino filed an application in court Friday saying she’s   
   suffering from a psychiatric disability.   
      
   The 19-year-old South Setauket, New York, native will undergo a   
   psychological evaluation. A judge will decide whether she qualifies   
   for a pretrial diversionary program. If she qualifies and completes   
   that program she could have the charges dismissed.   
      
   Prosecutors say they’ll contest Yovino’s request. They previously   
   offered her a plea deal with a two-year prison sentence.   
      
   Yovino accused two Sacred Heart football players of sexually   
   assaulting her during an October party. The players said the sex   
   was consensual. Police say Yovino later admitted making up the   
   allegations.   
      
   Police allege Yovino lied because she was worried another student   
   would lose romantic interest in her when it became known she had   
   sex with the two players.   
      
   Her lawyer said last month she stood by her account that the two   
   players from the university in Fairfield sexually assaulted her   
   in a bathroom during an off-campus party.
