MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. (AP) - A Princeton University student who argued that his conservative views were not accepted on the campus confessed to fabricating an assault and sending threatening e-mail messages to himself and some friends who shared his views, authorities said Monday.

Princeton Township police said that Francisco Nava was not immediately charged with any crime, but that the investigation was continuing.

Nava claimed to have been assaulted Friday by two men off campus, police said. But he later confessed that scrapes and scratches on his face were self-inflicted, and that the threats were his work, too, said Detective Sgt. Ernie Silagyi.

A spokeswoman for the Ivy League university said punishment, which could range from a warning to expulsion, was pending Monday.

"The university takes all matters related to the safety of its community members very seriously," said spokeswoman Lauren Robinson-Brown. "It's particularly concerning that a student would fabricate such matters."

"ONE MORE ARTICLE AND YOU WON'T LIVE TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY"? .... Anyone who watches "Law and Order" could figure out that one was a fake.

NOTHING..expel the loser!

They are so hell-bent-for-leather on making us look like the bad guys, but when they get caught, well, it's not us who look bad.

I have the mis-fortune to know a smattering of them and each one has got some real problems in the way they view the world (us vs them)and their fellow man (paranoid.)
