Story here. Excerpt:

'A Masterton woman falsely claimed to have been raped because she wanted police to give her a ride home after watching a male strip show.

Helen Maree Bidlake, 25, was yesterday convicted of making a false statement and sentenced to 100 hours' community work when she was sentenced in Masterton District Court.

According to the police summary of facts, on April 17 Bidlake, who is unemployed, attended a male strip show in Greytown.

She did not want to pay for a taxi back to Masterton so rang 111 and said she had been raped by a male she had met at the show.'
