Anti-Muslim attack called bogus

A Muslim student who said a masked gunman assaulted her after he wrote anti-Islamic slurs in a women's restroom at Elmhurst College was arrested Friday after an investigation concluded the attack never happened.

A week after the case roiled the small college, Elmhurst Police Chief Steven Neubauer said Safia Jilani, 19, of Oak Brook had been booked on a felony charge of filing a false police report, which is punishable by 1 to 3 years in prison.

Jilani reported Oct. 9 that the man beat her with the gun in the college's science center, authorities said. Anti-Muslim graffiti was written on the wall, similar to a threat written on the same student's locker the previous week.

But there was no gunman, according to a joint statement from Elmhurst Police, the college and the DuPage County state's attorney's office.

"The totality of all the evidence, and interviews with staff and students at the college . . . concluded that this incident never happened," Neubauer said, although he would not elaborate.

College spokesman Charles Henderson said the college would have no further comment. Messages left at Jilani's home and with her lawyer were not returned.

On campus Friday, Rocio Zapata, 26, a senior business administration major, said she had been fearful after the report.

"I'm appalled," Zapata said. "I don't understand why someone would make such a horrible accusation like that."

Richie Palys, 18, a freshman jazz studies major, said he could not make sense of Jilani's arrest.

"We had a rally," he said. "People cried over what happened, and her best friends gave speeches for her. I don't even know what to believe anymore."

She should be arrested for making false allegations. Terrible, it makes it harder for those who have legitmate complaints.

Someone in the previous thread actually said this story was likely made up... and got slammed for saying it... I know at the time I thought about posting that they had a good point... but thought I'd just steer clear of the issue... all I can say is nice call whoever the heck it was (I'm too lazy to look haha).

Ironically, that person was also busted for lying.

maybe because it's still shi-tty to assume alleged victims of assaults are lying until it can be verified by the proper authorities, regardless of the fact that sometimes false complaints are filed.

#### happens. You want to score points? Fine, go ahead, you do that if it makes you feel somehow bigger, or more important.

Not to mention who it came from, who is notorious for being an #######.

She got arrested for filing a false police report. What are the big mouths supposed to say? Off with her head? Get a good headshot or something ridiculous like that?
