A criminology student who lied about being raped by a taxi driver after he refused to accept a kebab-soaked tenner has been jailed for 16 months.

Wannabe cop Sophie Poniton told police officers that she had been sexually assaulted in the back of the cab she had been picked up in after a night out in Leeds city centre.

Pointon, 22, rang the cops in the early hours of Aril 22 this year then continued the deception by signing a statement giving an account of the attack.

Leeds Crown Court heard the driver, a father-of-five, was tracked down and kept in custody for six hours.

He was also unable to work for four weeks as a result of the claim.

Kate Bisset, prosecuting, said the driver was interviewed and said he could recall Pointon being “extremely drunk” when she got into his car holding a kebab.

He said Pointon threw a ten pound not at him when they reached the Hyde Park area but he refused to accept it as it was covered in oil from the kebab.

The driver said Pointon then became abusive and ran around the car opening doors.

The prosecutor said: “He did not think much of it at the time because such incident with people who are intoxicated are not unusual.”

A recording of a conversation between the driver and a phone operator at his taxi office supported his account.

The court heard a GPS tracker fitted to the car also revealed Pointon’s description of the taxi journey to be untrue.

Pointon broke down in tears and asked if she could drop the charges when her account was challenged by police.

She pleaded guilty to perverting justice.

Denise Breen-Lawton, mitigating, said Pointon, of Corkland Road, Manchester, had been studying in Leeds at the time.

She said her hopes of becoming a police officer were now ruined.

Jailing Pointon for 16 months, judge Christopher Batty told her: “Your malicious complaint has done a huge disservice to those seeking justice through the police and courts.”

The driver described in a statement how the false allegation had caused him to suffer from stress.

Obviously Miss Smarty Pants is not as smart as she thought she was.
 
AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Nice work you entitled skank.
Practise your BJ skills.
You might have a chance in gonzo porn as a back up plan.
That is all you are now good for and it is all your own doing.

Love when idiots submarine themselves out of an otherwise promising future.
Bet she was a right bitch in class too.
Hope she cries and drinks a lot.

Hmm this makes me wish for a Where Are They Now thread.
 
She should have received a much harsher sentence to set an example. Accusing someone of rape (who is innocent) even if they are acquitted can still impact their lives and reputation.
 
In 16 months when you Google yourself and find this, bitch, don't even try to whine about "the news didn't get the whole story."
Shit like this is why real rapes aren't taken seriousky.
Fuck you, skank.
 
yeah because we really want people like this on any force! fkn twat & notice how much she was concerned about destroying the life & livelihood of the innocent driver sociopathic elitist bitch
 
The gal is a worthless cunt. She should have gotten a year for every week he was out of work!



OT :Valasca did you get your power back on yet?
 
@Just my luck sucks, I have power.
On as of Monday overnight, but we didn't find out till tuesday.

I've been told we were without power 9 days.
I thought it was longer, like 11 days, but I gotta believe what I'm told.
 
I would love to see the driver get some restitution for lost wages.
