Sex attack Claim False

A woman has been cautioned by police after falsely accusing a man of sexual assault.

Officers arrested a 41 year old man after reports of an assault of a young woman in xxxxx Lane on Sunday February 10th.

Thousands of hours of police time were ploughed into the investigation until it became clear there were “anomalies” in the woman’s story. The man has since been released without charge.

“The man she identified was completely and utterly random and there are no links between the two at all,” said Inspector X from [the town]. “We have to consider he has been through quite an ordeal.”

The woman involved was issued with a caution for wasting police time.

Officers took the step of contacting The [name of paper identifies location] to allay public fears that a sexual predator was on the loose in [the town].

Despite the caution, police were at pains to say that all victims of sexual offences, and any other crime, should feel confident in coming forward, knowing the incident would be thoroughly investigated.

Flipping typical, I wonder when the government will wake up to the fact that innocent people
are being distroyed by FA's LP

I'm sure I remember reading this story (or one equally similar)

I think the man she 'chose' had a cast iron alibi for the time of the alleged attack; if not it would at best been a much more lengthy investigation.

Good to see she got a caution for it

I'm continually astounded at the significant no.s of false allegations I deal with. Even repeat FA's. Only ever had one minor given caution for it. Nothing for the rest.

I would like to see more arrested, less of this nicely nicely approach where they aren't challenged until court. Gives genuine victims a bad name. And the false accusation ruins many a good persons character when its coming up on CRB checks.
