Story here. Excerpt:

'A WOMAN who sparked a police investigation when she falsely claimed she had been raped on a train was given a community payback order yesterday.

Karen Farmer, 35, told officers that a man had sexually assaulted her when she was travelling from Glasgow to Blantyre.

But the court heard that she had consented to having sex with the man with whom she had been on a date in the hours leading up to the journey. She made the rape claim after he ran off and left her when the train reached its destination.'
