Article here. Excerpt:

'Nicola Osborne told police she was attacked by a man who forced her into a car after pulling up alongside her as she walked in Fratton Road, Fratton, in the early hours.

The 32-year-old claimed he drove her to a nearby park and raped her before her back to Fratton Road at about 3am on July 5 last year.
...
Addressing Osborne, Judge Price said: 'The offence to which you have pleaded guilty is a very serious offence indeed.

'It is almost inevitable that you will be going to prison.'

This looks like it is one of those he-said-she-said cases, where there are no other witnesses. It's refreshing that in this case the woman is not believed to be telling the truth by default, that her allegations were actually seriously questioned. We need to publicize these cases where women are lying about rape, and go to prison. We need to let women know that they will not always be treated as though they are the superior gender, and that they will not always be given the "pussy pass."
