A mother was jailed for two years today for crying rape against a man she met on a dating website.

Jennifer Day, 34, who made the false allegation against former boyfriend Andrew Saxby after a row, was told by the judge that she had undermined efforts to treat genuine rape victims fairly and sympathetically.

The court also heard that Mr Saxby was subjected to 'degrading and upsetting' examinations while being held by police for ten hours.

Judge Ian Graham said the investigation had wasted £4,000 of taxpayers' money and 270 police man hours.

He added: 'The police have put great stores on providing sympathetic treatments of women who make genuine complaints of rape and you abused that.

'You have undermined and jeopardised the efforts that are being made about the need to treat genuine victims of rape properly, fairly and sympathetically.

'The offence is in itself a serious one, it has terrible consequences potentially and actually for the victim and wider implications for those women who have genuinely been raped.'
[...]

They began a relationship, but the court heard that she was also seeing another man.

In January last year, the couple rowed after Mr Saxby accused her of having another man at her home. Afterwards, Day dialled 999 and accused Mr Saxby of rape.

Day burst into tears as she was taken down to the cells. Boo-fucking-hoo, bitch.

The sentence should have been longer.

yay. I am glad she was sentenced at all. Of course, this is a little different than the cases I'm trying to remember here in the States--like the Runaway Bride a while back. I'm thinking of the rash of cases where the so-called victim makes up a semi anonymous crime, whereas this woman accused a very specific person. This seems more of a rage/specific attack whereas the others I'm thinking of I guess are a form of Muachhausen (sp) syndrome?

Anyway--good deal that the authorities pursued the case against her. Hopefully it will save some future poor guys and gals who may be accused for a horrid crime out of revenge, and allow the police time and resources to concentrate on the REAL scum of the world.
