Francisco Nava '09 will not be charged with filing a false police report and most likely will not face prosecution for sending harassing emails, officials from Public Safety and Princeton Township Police said yesterday.
Nava claimed that he was attacked in an empty lot in the Township on Dec. 14 but later admitted to the police that he fabricated the story. He also admitted to sending threatening emails to himself, other members of the conservative Anscombe Society and politics professor Robert George.
According to a statement from the Township Police, the decision not to charge Nava for filing a false police report "was based in part on his cooperation with the University discipline process and his personal issues."
Det. Sgt. Ernie Silagyi said Township Police decided not to charge Nava after consulting with Det. Al Flanders of Public Safety. "Detective Flanders and I met, and we discussed both investigations," he said, referring to the Township's investigation into Nava's filing a false police report and Public Safety's investigation into the threatening emails. "We deal with types of cases on a case-by-case basis. In this case it was decided that he would not be charged."
