Woman inflicts injuries to her own head, plants condom wrapper to falsely accuse ex-boyfriend of rape
An Australian court heard on Tuesday that prosecutors will push for a full-time prison sentence for a woman who admitted to falsely accusing her ex-boyfriend of rape. The 28-year-old former NSW police worker pleaded guilty to the false allegation charge. She admitted that she staged a fake crime scene, self-inflicted injuries to her head, called the authorities, and then spun a fake story about what really happened.
According to court documents, she had earlier claimed that her former boyfriend had come to her house, raped her, and hosed her off in the yard. The accused, a Canberra prison guard, had to spend over three months in Goulburn Supermax prison after his arrest based on the false accusations. Around the time the allegations were made, the pair's relationship had become sour and they were in the midst of a property dispute over their residence in Bonner, Canberra Times reports.
