Meg Lanker-Simons Cited For Making UW Crushes Post
University of Wyoming Police have issued a citation to Meg Lanker-Simons for a charge of interference. According to the citation “Subject admitted to making a controversial post on UW Crushes webpage and then lied about not doing it.”
An anonymous statement posted to the UW Crushes Facebook page last week caused a controversy. The post stated that the author would like to copulate with Lanker-Simons in an angry manner. At the time, Lanker-Simons came out publicly against the post saying that she had felt threatened by it and perceived the post as a rape-threat.
University of Wyoming spokesperson Chad Baldwin said that the citation was the result of UW Police Department’s investigation into the UW Crushes Facbook incident, but could not comment further.Update: More information is available here.
Um, not sure what happened, but based on a search, Meg (who runs the popular Cognitive Dissonance Tumblr) ended up having to take down her site temporarily. But Fox Nation picked this up, so now it’s going crazy. *whew*
