Woman behind bars over false rape claim

Article here. Excerpt:

'Natasha Foster, from the Ballymoney Road in the Co Antrim town, was said by her defence to be "a woman scorned" when she appeared before Antrim Crown Court on Friday.

Her lawyer Michael Smith told Judge Desmond Marrinan that the false accusation had been made out of "anger and revenge".

He explained that Foster had desperately wanted to get back with a former lover and had consensual sex with him.

But he later texted her saying that he was not interested in getting back into a relationship.

The lawyer told the court: "After he sent the text, she was distraught and hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

He further revealed that Foster later went to her doctor and admitted that she was a "compulsive liar" and that she was prescribed medication.'
