Natasha Foster jailed for making false rape claim

Our thanks to T for this. Normally it takes quite a number of false rape allegations against different men before women are charged with the offence, and even then they rarely receive  custodial sentences. So we applaud a judge in Northern Ireland for his decision in this case:

Quite why her sentence was halved just because she’s now a mother, is a mystery. We’ve never heard of any man’s sentence being halved because he’d become a father after committing an offence.

  1. Note that on the summing up of the false rape claim, the judge pointed out the negative effects on real rape victims and on the criminal justice system. Not a mention of the real and only direct victim, the accused man.
