An 18-year-old woman convicted of making a false claim of rape has been sentenced to six months in a young offenders' institute.
Katie Davis, of St Leonards, East Sussex, was sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on Monday after being convicted of perverting the course of justice.
Her claim that a stranger attacked her in an alleyway led to Frank Chisholm, 24, spending 10 weeks in a Sussex jail.
The judge said her "wicked lies" still had a dramatic effect on his life.
Judge Richard Brown told her: "His family have also suffered considerably.
"You were responsible for him being in prison for several weeks.
"And when you pursued in those wicked lies you put him through the trauma of giving evidence in your trial."
