Hercules student recants bathroom sex attack story - SFGate
How many times have these stories turned out to be complete bullshit?
Hell, there's a website dedicated to logging fake hate crimes, where you'll find hundreds of them!
fakehatecrimes.org
This guy wrote a book about it (now a bit dated):
Crying Wolf, Laird Wilcox
It got the WSJs attention:

My question is, what the fuck is it with these people???

- A month ago a story about a "homophobic" mom who objected to gay parents sending her child an invite to a birthday party went viral. Days later the radio station that pushed the story admitted it was a hoax.
- In December a mother of a former high school football player claimed that racist slurs were spray painted on her home in Massachusetts. The woman later confessed to having spray painted the slurs herself.
- In November of last year a waitress in New Jersey claimed that a family left a gay slur written on a diner receipt and refused to tip her because she was gay. It was soon discovered that her claims were untrue.
- Last year, students at Oberlin College in Ohio claimed that the KKK had posted swastikas and anti-gay graffiti on campus. It was then found that several liberal students perpetrated the hoax as a "joke."
- Another waitress in Tennessee claimed that a customer left a racist slur written on a dinner receipt. This also turned out to be untrue.
- An African American student standing for election to his high school student government claimed he was harassed by racist texts last August. An investigation revealed he had sent the racist texts to himself so he could get in the news.
