Prosecutors to appeal judge's dismissal of felony charge for false rape report

Story here. Excerpt:

'Prosecutors plan to appeal a state judge's dismissal of a felony charge against a Billings woman with a history of making false rape reports.
...
District Judge G. Todd Baugh dismissed a felony charge of fabricating evidence against Christina Nadine Nelson in late July, saying that while the evidence clearly showed Nelson lied when she reported her former boyfriend raped her, the prosecution's decision to charge her with fabricating evidence was "a stretch at best."
...
Baugh also gave Nelson permission to travel to Germany on Aug. 2, despite protests from prosecutors who noted she had made seven false rape or assault claims against three men between 2009 and 2012.

Nelson was charged in December 2012 for reporting that her former boyfriend raped her as she left work one day.

Nelson was brought to Billings Clinic later that evening after telling her husband about the alleged rape and after the couple had unprotected sex.
...
Court documents indicate Nelson falsely reported her high school prom date raped her in 2009 and that another man raped her in 2009. The second man transferred to another college after receiving threats, prosecutors said.
...
Baugh is under fire after sentencing a former high school teacher to 30 days in prison for violating the terms of a deferred prosecution agreement in a statutory rape case involving a student. Baugh apologized for commenting that the victim was "older than her chronological age" and was as in much control of the months-long relationship with her teacher as he was.'
