Miranda Prather : ウィキペディア英語版 | Miranda Prather Miranda Prather is an American woman who gained national attention in July 1997 after police arrested her for faking a hate crime. A lesbian, Prather was a graduate assistant and president of the campus gay and lesbian support group at Eastern New Mexico University. She works as the executive director for PublishAmerica. ==The hoax== In July 1997, posters began appearing in various locations on ENMU campus, as well as in a town laundromat, that read: "Are you sick of queers polluting this great land with there filth? I thought so. Want to do something? Join the Fist of God. With his might, we can ride the world of there sickness. Ask around. We'll find you." and "Take us seriously, or we'll begin executing one queer a week following this list." The poster listed eight graduate students and professors, and accused them of being gay or lesbians. Prather's name was at the top of the list. Threatening emails were sent to all on the list. The following day, Prather reported to Portales police that she had been attacked in her home by two masked assailants, and the investigation began. A surveillance tape obtained from the laundromat where one of the posters first appeared seemed to solve the case: the person placing signs was Prather herself. A search warrant was executed on her home.〔 She was arrested and charged with seven counts of harassment and one charge of tampering with evidence, which she vehemently denied. She claimed that a woman named "Jessica Forrester" who looked just like her and was obsessed with her was the true culprit behind the crimes. Prather claimed Forrester forced her to circulate the posters, and suggested Forrester got plastic surgery to make herself look just like Prather. Police were unable to find anyone by that name or description.〔〔
