'A mum of eight has been jailed for making an entirely false rape claim against someone she barely knew. Amee Bettison, 29, also pursued the lie made initially to get the attention of her partner.

Bettison, of Pool Street in Bodmin, appeared at Truro Crown Court for sentence having pleaded guilty to attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Prosecuting the case, Ed Bailey described how on October 13 2016 a Mr Roberts contacted the police to report this his former partner, Bettison, had been raped by a local 28-year-old.'
