At least in this case, the bail was a bit higher than normal, and she is named.
Plachette Ross released on bail after filing false rape charge
Magistrate Priya Beharry granted $60,000 bail to a woman accused of knowingly providing the police with false information that she had been raped.
It is alleged that on May 20 at Georgetown, Plachette Ross, a sales representative of 24 Prospect, East Bank Demerara, knowingly gave to Sergeant Cedrick Gravesande; a police officer, certain information namely that she was raped intending thereby to cause Gravesande to arrest the man.
She pleaded not guilty to the charge of giving false information when it was read to her on Friday in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.The virtual complainant did not attend court.
Police Prosecutor Munilall Seetaram told the court that on the day in question the accused stole the man’s cell phone. He added that Ross told the VC that she was going to return the phone to him but instead the woman went to the Ministry of Home Affairs and alleged that the man had raped her.
Ross was ordered to appear in Court Three on September 30.

The demons in her head had other plans! I hope the slap on the wrist she gets is particularly tough. Maybe she'll even be in jail for an hour.
OH, how brutal! (sarcasm)

Everyone was there at the party. He was well dressed, a nice dress jacket, white shirt and slacks. But on his lapel was a small red button that read:
"Some women....lie."
I think this was a subtle reminder to society that when it comes to rape, some women out there aren't telling the truth and that false rape is a very real reality. What better way to get the message out than a little red button.
