Story here. Excerpt:
'A woman has been jailed after she falsely accused her ex-boyfriend of raping her.
Melinda Denham, 25, from Ohio, accused Shannon Hudson of raping her at her father's home after they had broken up and did not own up to the crime until he had spent two months in jail.
On Wednesday, a judge ordered she spend six months in prison, a rarity on a conviction for Ohio's lowest level felony, which usually results in probation.'
