Remember The North Andover Volleyball Player Who Became A National Story When She Said She Got Suspended For Being A Designated Driver? It Now Appears She’s One of the Great Liars of Our Generation
NORTH ANDOVER – Valley Patriot sources at Lawrence District Court and in law enforcement tell The Valley Patriot that North Andover volleyball player Erin Cox was in court last month with a signed confession, admitting she was in possession of alcohol and consuming alcohol at an underage drinking party. Cox claimed initially that she was only at the drinking party to give a drunk friend a ride home when police arrived. Her attorney at the time, Wendy Murphy, went on a nationwide media blitz promoting the false narrative that Cox was the victim of a school system out of control and that North Andover’s “zero tolerance policy” resulted in her suspension from the volleyball team and the loss of her position as captain. Attorney Murphy and Cox’s Mom Eleanor Cox told the media that Erin was being punished for “doing the right thing”.
Cox says in her confession that she was there approximately an hour before Boxford police broke it up, a direct contradiction to .
“My name is Erin Cox,” her hand written letter to the court states.
“I am 17 years old. On September 28, 2013. I was at the party in Boxford, MA. I was there for about an hour before police arrived. While I was there I was in possession of alcohol and consumed alcohol, even though I was underage. There were numerous underage people there as well. I am admitting to this offense and wish to enter into a diversion program.”
Attorney Wendy Murphy claimed Cox was “not charged” and that Valley Patriot sources “lied”Attorney Murphy had told the Valley Patriot in October that, “Erin was not charged” and insisted she was not scheduled to appear for any reason related to the underage drinking party in Boxford. She Demanded that the Valley Patriot retract our story on-line saying it was “lies” and insisted that we publish that our sources “lied”. Murphy has not commented on the matter since Erin Cox confessed to the court that she was indeed drinking at the party. Not ONE member of the national news media has informed their readers or viewers that the story they told (for four straight days) about Cox being punished for “doing the right thing,” was false.
Wow. What a rollercoaster this story has been. It’s been the Valley Patriot vs. the World here trying to report the facts. This was one of the most viral stories of the past few months not only in New England but in the country. It dominated the headlines for weeks. Everybody calling for North Andover’s heads including myself and now it appears as if it was all a gigantic lie. Pretty crazy stuff. Also it’s equally nuts that nobody except the Valley Patriot is bothering to mention the fact that Erin Cox lied. It just shows how fucked up the media is and how fucked up celebrity lawyers like Wendy Murphy are. Just last month Wendy Murphy “demanded that the Valley Patriot retract their story on-line saying it was “lies” and insisted that they publish that their sources “lied”. Now we know it was all the truth. My question is where is Wendy Murphy now that Erin Cox admitted it was hoax and the Valley Patriot was right all along? Unavailable for comment obviously. Probably already onto her next high profile case that regardless if it is true or not will get her name in the headlines for a couple days. And that sums up everything that is wrong with everything. Maybe if there was as much publicity when the lies are exposed as there is when the lie is being told people like Erin Cox and lawyers like Wendy Murphy would think twice about making shit up.
