Yarloop rape claim was false: police

Article here. Excerpt:

'Only a day after a 15-year-old girl was found to have "cried wolf" over a false rape claim, Bunbury detectives have charged a 65-year-old woman with falsifying a sexual assult complaint.

The Yarloop woman had told detectives late last month that a man had entered her bedroom in the early hours of the morning and threatened and then sexually assaulted her.

Police had originally said she was "very distressed" and "shaken up" by the ordeal.

Detective Senior Sergeant Jon Munday today said that investigators had established the incident the woman had complained about was false and the public could put its mind to rest.'
