Here are two news accounts about the Ohio woman whose false rape claim was said to be caused by "bad judgment." She was given the legal equivalent of a slap on the wrist -- two years "community control" and less than $2,000 in fines, and then she was let loose to prey on other innocent men.
Wapakoneta Woman To Pay Overtime In False Rape Report
MIAMI COUNTY, Ohio -- Two days after she reported to Miami County deputies that she was raped, Melissia Turner, 40, of Wapakoneta admitted that she lied.
Monday afternoon in Miami County Common Pleas Court in Troy, Turner was placed on two years community control and ordered to reimburse the sheriff's department $892 for the overtime paid to detectives to investigate the claim of rape.
On May 19, Turner reported that she was raped under the covered bridge on the banks of the Great Miami River north of Troy off Eldean Road.
Turner was also ordered by Miami County Common Pleas Judge Robert Lindeman to pay a $1,000 fine.
If Turner violates the terms of her probation, she could face up to one year in the Ohio State Reformatory for Women in Marysville.

Woman sentenced for false rape report
TROY — A Wapakoneta woman will be paying authorities $892 for the overtime detectives used to investigate her false claim of being raped.
Melissa Turner, 40, told the sheriff's office May 19 she was raped on the banks of the Great Miami River, under the Eldean Bridge north of Troy. She admitted May 21 that she had lied, according to court documents.
She pleaded guilty to the felony charge in November and was sentenced Monday, Jan. 12 to community control and order to reimburse the Miami County Sheriff's Office.
In court Monday, Turner said the incident showed "bad judgment" on her part. "I do want to apologize," she told Judge Robert Lindeman in Common Pleas Court.
Defense lawyer William Kruge said Turner's actions were out of character. He said she had no felony record and said Turner was "concerned about what she should do that day" when an encounter went beyond what she thought she had consented.
Lindeman said the likelihood of Turner ever committing the same type of offense again "is just about nil."
She was ordered to complete two years of community control, fined $1,000 and ordered to make restitution. If she violates condition of the probation, she faces up to one year in prison.

Instead of making it less than likely she will do this again, it may give her time to perfect how she will do it the next time she gets the chance.

Two years of community control? Probation? If she violates it ,she will face one whole year in prison? What a joke. I would bet her victim ,if he had been convicted (which is most likely as the way society has been programmed by feminists and the gender biased media ), would not get such a super sweet sentence. He would be facing a whole lot of horror in his future.
He would be facing the destruction of his life, which is most likely destroyed now, by the trauma of being falsley accused of rape. I propose that she used the law,it's statutes, it's letter to in fact commit a rape of sorts against him.
She was a stripper in fort Wayne, at the time(and after) the charges. The rape kit showed two different guys sperm. She also has an STD. HERPES. So if you have slept with her go get tested She danced under the name of Laynie .
