Aberdeen woman made false rape claim

Story here. Excerpt:

'AN ABERDEEN woman who sparked a major police investigation after she falsely accused her former partner of rape today apologised.

Elizabeth Christie, 30, told a detective at Aberdeen’s Grampian Police Headquarters she had been raped by Angus Reid, known as Greig.

Mr Greig was investigated and ordered to appear at a preliminary hearing at the High Court in Aberdeen.

But the accusations against him were not true.

Christie admitted making the false claims when she appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.

Christie today said she made the allegation after suffering a nervous breakdown.

She also said it was a “cry for help” to her family who she said don’t speak to her.'
