UK: Jilted secretary demanded £200k from ex-boss after making false rape claim

Story here. Excerpt:

'Dilrushi Mendis, 40, cheated on her husband with the married businessman until he sacked and dumped her.

But the mother-of-one refused to accept the relationship was over and launched a campaign against him, sending “revenge porn” to his relatives and turning up outside his home.
...
“She sent him a text which read, ‘If you do not come and see me I’ll do something terrible to you.’ She asked him — knowing he was a wealthy man — for £40,000 to £50,000 to open a hair salon.”

Around this time she reported him to the police, claiming he struck her. “She admitted to him she lied to the police,” Mr King said.

On the evening of March 2 last year she invited him to stay over. He arrived with a friend and still maintains they slept in a separate room. 

Mendis, however, told police the men arrived with alcohol and she had two or three drinks before her  former boss entered her room and raped her.'
