UK: Family’s nightmare after false rape claim

Article here. Excerpt:

'Geoff was exonerated of any crime by police and the legal system and cleared after his daughter Tina Long – who waived her right to anonymity when he was convicted – admitted she had lied in court and made up the allegations.

He was released after wife Louise turned detective and went through all the evidence to expose what they call a web of lies by Tina Long, who confessed in court in January that she had lied.

Geoff, 67, said, “I cannot describe how it felt to stand and listen to my only daughter accuse me of paedophilia. I had been advised by my legal team to try to remain impassive when Tina was giving evidence. But inside I wanted to scream the roof off. This was my own flesh and blood.”

Although the court had ruled she would remain anonymous because of her age at the time of the alleged offence, Tina opted to write a magazine article telling in intimate detail the false tale of her supposed abuse.'
