Our thanks to B for this. At last, a custodial sentence, even if it’s too light. Most women who ruin men’s lives with false rape allegations aren’t prosecuted. From the article:
In total, 76 officers worked on the enquiry between December 2013 and May 2014 at an approximate cost of £70,000. Despite later pleading guilty to the offences, Willson never offered an explanation in police interview for making the false allegations.
She should also have been fined the cost of the police enquiry.
That’s very ableist of you Mike. I’m sure that there are plenty of very capable blind burglars out there.
I direct you to an article from the Lancashire Telegraph

I think Paul had a very fair point though if I may say so…I suspect an element of sexual fantasy here.
That would explain why she had offered no reason as well.
I suspect the fraudulent insurance claim is the driver of the custodial sentence.
Thanks Paul, but a blind burglar? You haven’t thought this through…
If she had claimed that she was sexually assaulted by a blind man, it might have been more credible.
What were they doing for 5 months? Searching for any evidence to convict a man 2 men?
If she’d not made the insurance claim would they all be looking?
One is bound to suspect this sentence is more to do with money and work the investigation cost rather than any sense of justice – that’s what upset them so.
