2nd WSU Assault ‘Victim’ Recants

Another alleged assault victim on Washington State University’s Pullman campus has recanted her story. The university said this afternoon that the incident, which supposedly happened early on Aug. 24, did not occur. The person who reported two other assaults, on Aug. 19 and Aug. 24, recanted those allegations last week, police said/ SR .

Question: Can someone explain to me what kind of messed up you’d have to be to file a false assault report of the nature of these?
