UK: 16 year old jailed after false rape claims

Story here. Excerpt:

'Merthyr Crown Court heard how the 16 year old girl had consensual sex with a 20 year old man after a night out in a nightclub, but told police that she had been abducted and raped by three men.

All three men were arrested as a result of the girl’s claims.

In court the girl admitted lying and perverting the course of justice and Judge Mr Recorder Jeremy Jenkins QC sent the teenager to a young offender’s institution for six months.

The judge also ordered that the girl was not to be named and as part of her rehabilitation her anonymity should stay intact, although all three men were named in court.'
