Girl cries rape and once caught out gets 150 hours community
Discussion
Byron claimed she had been raped after she had been seen flirting outside The Keys in Yarm during a night out in March last year.
She said the man had attacked her on a bridge, thrown money at her to get a taxi home and gave police a description of him.
A suspect was detained and interrogated but provided police with evidence to show he had not raped the psychology student.
She was given a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, with supervision and 150 hours of unpaid community work.

Why would someone do this?!
I think for her Psychology degree she could do a study on herself.

You just wouldn't 
she showed genuine remorse.
Oh, that's alright then.
What if the bloke had been convicted, and had his life ruined, along with the imprisonment.
No doubt his name was on the front of the paper once he had been arrested.
What's a typical sentence for rape? 3-7years?
That's what she should get.
Also, both the accused and the 'victim' should remain anonymous until conviction, but that's another rant.

Good.
THis should be the norm for someone who does this. Along with anyone who lies in court.

Heaven help her if she ever is either sexually assaulted or raped in future.
To think how many women are, yet never come forward and their attacker gets away with it and yet other women behave like this makes me sick. Those are the people to whom the greatest harm/disservice is done by her actions.
Not pleasant at all for the accused either as some things only need an allegation for a life to be forever altered from its path.

Indeed. I've known completely innocent people taken to the brink of suicide and had to change their entire life - moving house, new friends and even family ostracised him, all because of exactly this kind of situation. The woman had made it up........... And what I can't understand is that even when it is shown to be a complete lie, this does not seem to affect the friends/relatives etc who still won't have anything to do with them.

Agreed, I fail to see why the accused do not receive anonymity given the damage caused.
t situation all round.
