Our thanks to Rick for this. The start of the piece, emphases ours:
Charges against five men accused of being in a pedophile ring have been dropped two weeks before trial and their accuser labelled “serial fantasist” after it was revealed the woman had made false allegations on multiple occasions.A medical expert also said that the woman’s account of her backyard abortion – allegedly performed on her by one of the accused – had been lifted from TV show portrayals of abortions on programs like ‘Call the Midwife’ and the film ‘Vera Drake’.
In 2016 the woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, made accusations against the men, saying that she had been abused at parties between 3 and 15 years of age. She said she was forced to have an abortion and help the men torture other kids.
The allegations saw retired GP Stephen Glascoe, 67, retired social worker Patrick Graham, 61, and three other men due to stand trial on January 29 for their alleged involvement in a Cardiff pedophile ring in the 1990s.
During her most recent rape accusations, the woman told police that one of the men had sent her a package from Amazon that included wires twisted in the very same way that her hands had been allegedly tied while they abused her. She later conceded that she had actually ordered the parcel herself.
She made another complaint in 2012 that saw her awarded £22,000 in damages from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, despite refusing to cooperate with police during the investigation.
As a teenager, the woman had admitted to making false rape allegations. Ten years ago she also alleged on a BBC program that she had been raped by another guest, but no charges were ever brought…
Patrick Graham, Glascoe’s co-accused who was charged with indecent assault, said: that police simply believed everything she said and “even when she changed her story they continued to accept it.”
“She is a serial fantasist who has admitted making up allegations before,” the retired social worker said. “They were willing to wreck five families’ lives on the police altar of better statistics for rape prosecutions.”
The end of the piece:
A South Wales police spokesman said: “Throughout any investigation we regularly communicate with the victim in order to offer them support and keep them updated on progress.
“This particular case involved a vulnerable woman who required additional support, not only throughout the investigation but in the lead-up to the court case.
“She lived outside Wales, which meant that officers had to rely on electronic means of communication, such as text messages and email.”
Justice for Men & Boys 
Ah, so the police think she’s a ‘vulnerable woman’ (is vulnerable a synonym for woman?) and a also victim.
So vulnerable that she was paid £22,000
– to shut up and go away perhaps?
The falsely accused men of course can be neither.
This questionable and corrupt practice of paying substantial sums of money for people to make up pernicious lies and nonsense is so obviouslly going to lead to that, one wonders about the process that lead to it in the first place.
In any event, it must end now.

Another result of the desperate hunt for cases to meet political demands for arrests and convictions. Again some elementary investigation would have stopped this before it had got far. Another case of a serial accuser. I do think the anonymity of complainants should end to more easily pick up such serial accusers.

Oh no, a “vulnerable woman”! Run if you want to live!
Seriously though, the contrast between the constant pushing of women as ‘tuff n’ strng” in the media right alongside this neo-chivalry revival that we increasingly see (like how poor Cathy Newman’s feelz wos hurtsez by post-interview tweets, so now the security people are going over everything, in case one of the tweets has a shiv hidden about it somewhere) hurts my head.
Ladies, a bad ass or a princess, pick one you want to be and stick to it please.
