Bristol rape accused: False claim made my life hell

Story here. Excerpt:

'A recovering addict from Bristol was driven back to drink and drugs after being accused of a rape he did not commit.

Robert Bosley said he struggled to cope with the stigma of being a suspected sex offender.

As previously reported by the Bristol Post, the 38-year-old's former partner Mandy Whittle, falsely accused him of rape for reasons known only to her.

She later admitted making it up and last week was jailed for eight months for perverting the course of justice.
...
Meanwhile Mr Bosley was arrested, put in a cell under constant watch, and subjected to a physical examination by a woman police doctor, having been refused a male nurse, which he said made him feel "violated".

"Crying rape is just an evil thing to do. To me it's just as bad as doing it."'
