Our thanks to Joe for this. The end of the piece:
Ch Supt Wilson said: “Barr told her fabricated story to anyone who would listen, portraying Ryan to the whole country through national and social media as a violent man she was terrified of when, in reality, Ryan is the one who was suffering a tirade of abuse from the vicious and false allegations Barr made against him.
“Whilst Ryan can never regain the last four years, I hope there is some comfort for him and his family knowing Barr has now been held accountable for her actions.
“Whilst men are stereotypically the perpetrators of domestic abuse against girls and women, [J4MB emphasis – the stereotype is patently untrue, and has been known to be untrue for decades, why not write THAT?] we must ensure in policing we do see the less visible side of these horrific crimes where men are also victims, and always investigate thoroughly and effectively for anyone who is a victim of abuse by a partner.
“Allegations of this nature when falsely made, can have a detrimental impact on genuine victims coming forward.” [J4MB emphasis – why not refer to the men also as “genuine victims”?}
Barr was jailed for three years and nine months.
