Los Alamos rape report resulted in charges for accuser , lawsuit claims
Case Summary
Two Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists are suing each other, alleging defamation after one accused the other of rape. The case involves Sarah Lu’s claim Los Alamos police encouraged her to press charges against a man whom she alleges raped her, and then officers took his word over hers — charging her with filing a false report — despite knowing Tracy Gannon Parker had previously faced similar accusations. Parker, meanwhile, accuses Lu of being a jilted lover who falsely accused him in part because she hoped to be cast as a victim for immigration purposes. Parker, 37, and Lu, 32, had met while attending a conference in Budapest in 2023.
