This is exactly why people who make false rape claims cannot just get away with it. This has to stop.

What has to stop is juries convicting people of serious crimes solely on the basis of the word of the supposed victim. It sucks in legitimate cases, but he-said-she-said should never, ever be enough to overcome reasonable doubt and judges should make sure jurors damn well know that.

What's her name!?

The public should know, so we can take protective measures around her - like go around in groups around her, not date her...

"The woman who made the false allegations was named in the House of Lords in 2006 by Labour peer Lord Campbell-Savours, during exchanges about the rape laws."

Then name her, asshats. And where's mention of prosecuting the bitch?

The Independent Police Complaints Commission said the force failed to disclose concerns expressed by an officer from another force about the alleged victim's reliability.

Notes taken by the Northamptonshire detective referred to her as "unreliable" and "unstable", but there was no evidence to show this information was ever passed to senior officers or the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

While Mr Blackwell was in prison, a detective failed to make senior officers and the CPS aware of more information about false complaints by the same woman with striking similarities to Mr Blackwell's case, the IPCC said.

There were also a large number of serious discrepancies in her accounts which seemed not to have been challenged by detectives.
