The parents of a student from PGC (Public Graduate College) are speaking out in defense of their child, refuting recent claims of sexual assault and calling for action against those responsible for spreading false accusations.
In a press conference held earlier today, the parents of the student, whose identity is being withheld for privacy reasons, expressed their outrage over what they described as a deliberate smear campaign. The parents strongly denied the allegations of rape that have been circulating on social media and in certain local media outlets.
“These accusations are not only baseless but also deeply hurtful to our family. We stand by our child and are confident that these false claims will be proven to be malicious fabrications,” said the mother of the student, visibly upset. “We demand that the people behind these lies be held accountable.”
The allegations in question emerged last week, when an anonymous post on a popular social media platform alleged that a female student from PGC was the victim of sexual assault by a fellow student. The post quickly went viral, sparking outrage and widespread media coverage. However, after a preliminary investigation by local authorities and the college administration, no evidence of the assault was found.
The college’s administration released a statement expressing concern over the allegations and promising a thorough review of the situation. However, they also emphasized the importance of respecting due process and ensuring that the truth is uncovered without resorting to baseless claims that could harm individuals involved.
“The spreading of false accusations undermines the credibility of real victims of abuse, and this is something we cannot tolerate,” said the father of the student. “We urge everyone to be responsible and refrain from making rash judgments based on unverified information.”
The parents also took aim at those they believe are behind the spread of these false claims. While they refrained from naming individuals, they described a coordinated effort to discredit their child and create an atmosphere of fear and mistrust.
“We are not just fighting for our child’s reputation, but for the integrity of the entire community,” the mother added. “We will not rest until those responsible for spreading these lies are held accountable.”
The case has sparked a wider debate on the role of social media in amplifying unverified claims and the responsibility of both the public and media in handling sensitive issues. Local authorities have promised to continue their investigation into the source of the false accusations and have urged the community to come forward with any relevant information.
As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with the incident, and both the college and law enforcement agencies are working together to address the issue.
The family has vowed to take legal action against those responsible for the harmful accusations, including potential defamation charges.
