Story here. Excerpt:
'A 12-year-old Berkshire girl has been given a reprimand for wasting police time after falsely reporting a rape.
The girl, from Reading, told officers she had been raped by a 15-year-old boy on 11 July.
They arrested the teenager but further inquiries showed the rape accusation was false and he was later released without charge.
Police said the investigation cost thousands of pounds and caused distress to the innocent victim.
...
"In this case a 15-year-old boy was arrested as part of the initial investigation, which was obviously very distressing for him.'
