Quite shocking that the woman doesnt have to pay back the $1.5m and no charges are being bought against her or her mother.
LA Times said:
Brian Banks spent more than five years in prison for a rape and kidnapping that, as the courts now find, he did not commit; the repercussions of how the case sorts itself out in the justice system will take a lot longer than that.
There are several threads to follow and figure out in the story of the promising teenaged Long Beach football star who, on his lawyer’s advice, pleaded no contest to the rape charge rather than chance a jury trial and a 40-years-to-life sentence. He was exonerated by a judge last week after his accuser contacted him on Facebook to let bygones be bygones, and admitted that he had not raped her after all.
