'LONG BEACH, Calif. — A woman who falsely accused a former high school football star of rape is being sued by the Long Beach Unified School District in hopes of recovering legal fees and a $750,000 settlement paid to her.
The district alleges Wanetta Gibson committed contractual fraud in a lawsuit filed last November, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported Thursday.
Gibson was 15 when she accused Brian Banks of attacking her on their high school campus. He insisted the sexual contact with Gibson was consensual, but pleaded no contest to forcible rape on the advice of his lawyer and spent more than five years in prison.'
