Woman avoids jail for falsely accusing man of rape - and even lied to his family

Article here. Excerpt:

'A woman dodged jail after she blackmailed a man for cash, falsely accusing him of rape.

Chelsea Orton left her victim relying on antidepressants after he suffered abuse following her lies.

The 22-year-old confessed to blackmailing the man, who cannot be named, out of £200 between July and August 2019.

Orton went as far as telling the man’s family about the rape lie to try and back up her story.

But the mum-of-one was finally caught out when her victim built up the courage to report her to the police.

Orton, from Nuneaton, Warwickshire, admitted to blackmail and was slapped with an 18-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months at Warwick Crown Court.'
