South Africa: 'Nice time' turns to rape turns to perjury?

Story here. Excerpt:

'An 18-year-old girl who allegedly opened a false gang rape case while she in fact secretly spent time with her boyfriend, will have to attend a diversion programme if she wants to avoid criminal prosecution.

This was decided after the Atteridgeville Magistrate's Court's control prosecutor and a probation officer discussed the case on Tuesday.

The teenager was arrested on Monday, on a charge of perjury, two days after she had opened a rape case at the Atteridgeville Police Station.
...
When she got home on August 22, she apparently lied to her parents, claiming she had been kidnapped by six unknown men and taken to Rustenburg and repeatedly raped.

After registering a false rape case at the Atteridgeville Police Station, the girl was taken to a doctor for treatment and examination at the State's expense.'
