Muslim College Student Who Lied About Trump Supporters Attacking Her On NY Subway Pleads Guilty |
2017-11-09 |
[DailyWire] On Friday, Yasmin Seweid, 19, the Muslim college student at Baruch College who lied to police, telling them she had been harassed on the New York subway by white men who attempted to seize her hijab, pleaded guilty to falsely reporting an incident and disorderly conduct. Seweid had claimed the incident occurred on the No. 6 train on Dec. 1, 2016. She told The New York Daily News that three drunk white men screamed “Donald Trump!” and hurled anti-Islam slurs at her, then tried to rip her hijab off of her head. She stated, “I heard them say something very loudly, something about Donald Trump ... I also heard them say the word terrorist and I sort of got a little scared.” She added that they said, “Oh look, a (expletive) terrorist … Get the hell out of the country! You don’t belong here!” She said when she tried to ignore them, they pulled on her bag to get her attention and the strap broke. “That’s when I turned around and said ‘can you please leave me alone,’ and they started laughing,” she said. Days later, Seweid went missing, prompting a search for her. Seweid was arrested on December 14 on charges of filing a false report and obstructing governmental administration. Police sources stated Seweid lied because she didn’t want to get in trouble for breaking her curfew after being out late drinking with friends. In court, Seweid wrote an apology that was read by the prosecutor that read, "I was stupid. I plan to continue to find ways to better myself." She had already stated that she wasted police resources when she made the claim, which she made because she had missed her family’s curfew. Seweid must take six months of counseling and complete three days of community service. |

[NYDAILYNEWS] The Moslem college student who lied to cops about getting attacked on the subway by drunken Trump supporters took a plea deal on Friday. Yasmin Seweid, 19, copped to falsely reporting an incident and disorderly conduct for the bogus claim.

Seweid previously admitted she wasted police resources to cover up for her missed curfew. She must go through six months of counseling and complete three days of community service.

2016-12-17 |
[NYDAILYNEWS] The sister of a Moslem student who concocted a tale of subway harassment by three white men blamed the NYPD and the media for her sibling’s lies in a Facebook rant. "I’m not excusing what my sister did," Sara Seweid posted Thursday on her page. "I was horrified yesterday and I’m still trying to grapple with the facts." "Things snowballed out of our control because of the media ... Reporters made things so much worse for our family." Yasmin Seweid, 18, finally admitted to police that she spun a phony tale of verbal abuse from three white men shouting "Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... !" because she missed curfew, sources told the Daily News. |

Teen made up story about pro-Trump anti-Muslim attack on subway |
2016-12-14 |
![]() The woman, Yasmin Seweid, 18, is being charged with filing a false report, according to a high-ranking police source. Seweid had claimed the hateful drunks shouted "Trump! Trump!" and called her a "terrorist" as they tried to steal her headscarf. "Go back to your country!" she said they shouted during the alleged Dec. 1 attack. But inconsistencies in her account surfaced once cops tried to confirm her story by pulling surveillance video. Investigators did find footage that showed her in some of the places where she said she was, said the source. But they weren't entirely consistent with her story. Hate-crime investigators then called in the Baruch College student to work on another sketch of her "attackers" Wednesday and confronted her with the inconsistencies, another source said. That's when she cracked, admitting that she had been out drinking with friends and made up the attack story to distract her angry father, sources said. |
