Appalling. The start of the piece:

“A woman has been jailed for three months for falsely claiming a man raped her in a Dublin hotel room while two others watched.

Ann Marie Keenan (37) made the baseless and “devastating” allegation against an “innocent man” who was left shocked and “reeling”, a court heard.

She randomly picked two other men from Facebook to name as accomplices and lied that she went to a hospital sexual assault unit when she “escaped.”

Keenan, described as a “good mother” with no criminal record, had “no axe to grind” with the victim and was “at a loss” to explain her own actions.

Judge Monika Leech said the “horrendous allegation” had caused “untold damage” and had taken up “much needed garda resources.”

She sentenced Keenan to nine months in prison, six months of which she suspended.”
