On November 28, 1987, Brawley was found in a trash bag after having been missing for four days from her home in Wappingers Falls, New York. She had racial slurs written on her body and was covered in feces. Brawley accused four white men of having raped her.

After hearing evidence, a grand jury concluded in October 1988 that Brawley had not been the victim of a forcible sexual ...
