Here is the update to the story we reported yesterday. It took the jury less than one hour to convict Rosie Waggett of falsely accusing a cabbie of sexual assault. The presiding judge said her actions had been "callous, clinical, warped and wicked" and he could see no alternative to custody.
Teenager collapses in court after being convicted of false sex assault claim
A TEENAGER collapsed in court as she was convicted of falsely accusing a taxi driver of sexually assaulting her.
As a jury at the trial of Rosie Waggett returned the unanimous guilty verdict, after deliberating for less than an hour yesterday, the 18-year-old fell to the floor, crying uncontrollably.
Judge David Pugsley said he believed the image of cab driver Mohammed Afsar, who broke down in tears in the witness stand during the trial, would "haunt the memory of the jury for a very long time".
During the trial, the jury heard how Waggett claimed the driver had grabbed her thigh on a taxi journey home and made sexual remarks.
She made the allegation at about 6.30am on January 17. Mr Afsar was arrested shortly afterwards and kept in police custody for nine hours.
Judge Pugsley said: "This was not an allegation of rape, it was an allegation of sexual assault but the nature of such allegations always have grave consequences. It is likely he would have lost his liberty and almost definitely his taxi job."
Remanding Waggett in custody, Judge Pugsley said her actions had been "callous, clinical, warped and wicked" and he could see no alternative to custody.
She will be sentenced next month.
Waggett had told police that Mr Afsar had grabbed her leg and said: "If I don't get my money off you, I don't get sex off my wife. If I don't get sex off her then I have to get it somewhere."
Abi Joyce, prosecuting, said Waggett had tried to avoid paying the taxi fare.
Miss Joyce said the teenager only had 49p when she got into the taxi and had told an acquaintance that if she was made to pay the full fare she would say the driver had tried to rape her.
Troy Muir, the acquaintance, told the jury he had been with Waggett at a mutual friend's house in Willson Avenue, Littleover, when she was picked up by PJ Cars employee Mr Afsar.
Mr Muir said: "She said she didn't have any money, so I asked how she was going to pay for the taxi. She said, 'well if he (the taxi driver) asks me about the money I'll just say he tried to rape me."
When Miss Joyce asked how she had said this, Mr Muir said: "She just said it casually. I didn't think she was really being serious but it didn't seem like a joke."
Later, Miss Joyce, while cross-examining Waggett, said: "You planned all along to make the allegation against whichever taxi driver turned up that night to avoid having to pay the fare and you were drunk."
Waggett, of Ednaston Avenue, Littleover, denied perverting the course of justice and maintained she was telling the truth about the assault. She also denied making the comments to Mr Muir and being drunk.
When the taxi arrived at her Ednaston Avenue home, she told Mr Afsar to wait while she got more money, the jury was told.
Her mum Andrea Waggett, giving evidence in court, said she was woken up by her daughter screaming and shouting for her in the street and banging on the front door.
Miss Joyce said that moments later two men came from the address and assaulted Mr Afsar, who is a father-of-three.
Police arrived shortly after this incident and arrested Mr Afsar.

ANON SAYS
Mr Pugsley is a true representative of the American court, unlike the hundreds of other perverts who call themselves judges.
Enabling sick, callous, women is spreading the seeds of violence and chaos, and this one got her day in court..thank god.
The perversion of our courts and law enforcement community run deep, and has consequences on a society that are far reaching.
When a system enables wicked, callous, violent women, to lie and get innocent men arrested and sometimes killed..that system eventually breaks down.
and not even one national news outlet reporting the story.
I read an article by some insane feminsts (think it was in the Guardian) how the Daily Mail aupposedly always covers every single false rape story in detail, thus making it seem like a far worse problem than it really is.
In reality, they just don't have the space nor the time and what you can read there is just the tip of the iceberg and they only go for the extreme and notable cases.
I think there's a chance they might one day get round to reporting on this one but only because there's other crimes there too - theft, assault etc.
One thing that always puzzles me is how the bbc constantly comes up with stories about alleged rap, but never false rapes. In fact they almost focus on reported rapes (ie where nothing has been proven either way) more than on convictions and verdicts, thus in fact doing exactly the same things as the Guardian idiot suggested though skewing things the other way.

OTHER ANON SAYS...
She is simply lying to say that main stream media cover every false rape accusation, when in reality they cover less than 2% of all false rape acussations!!
What happens when society is led to believe that only 2% of rape accusations are false...When in reality over the last 20 years they have skyrocketed???
Ill tell you what happens..."that society manifests a pre-judge-ice against innocent men/boys."
Here's yet another woman charged with false rape in the UK:

One interesting point I thought of is the incredibly high conviction rate in such cases.
Feminists moan about the low conviction rate for rape, but that just surely means too many innocent people are facing trial.
The fact that pretty much every single false rape case results in a conviction means the police quite clearly aren't prosecuting any cases unless the evidence is totally overwhelming and there is no doubt whatsoever about guilt. Thus most of the false accusers out there just get the benefit of the doubt every single time and unless they're totally stupid and make things far too obvious then they'll never even come close to facing justice.
If the police were serious about the issue and protected men from such sex offenders then you'd at least get cases with maybe majority verdicts or juries having to take a long time to agree on the guilty verdict, but it's alway seems to be unanimously guilty every single time
I'm very pleased to read of this conviction, and have nothing but sympathy for the victim. I hope that he overcomes this horrible lie and goes on to have a rewarding life.
I hope that this monster does some real time for this, and never gets away with this again. I can only wonder how many other innocent lives she has destroyed.
I hope other potential liars read about her collapsing into an ocean of tears. Finally, one of these false accusers has the appropriate reaction.
This is a very astute comment: "The fact that pretty much every single false rape case results in a conviction means the police quite clearly aren't prosecuting any cases unless the evidence is totally overwhelming and there is no doubt whatsoever about guilt. Thus most of the false accusers out there just get the benefit of the doubt every single time and unless they're totally stupid and make things far too obvious then they'll never even come close to facing justice."
What the hell does it tell us that prosecutors only prosecute the clear cases of false claims, but are willing to roll the dice with men accused of rape even when it's anything but clear? Sounds like another instance of the proverbial disposable male.
It simply means that women are viewed as ten times more precious than men by our pathetic society.
Mr Pugsley is a true representative of the American court,
Actually he is a representative of the British court. We sure could use some judges like him here in the USA, though.
America seems to have a unique hatred of men. Other countries have false rape accusers, of course, but in this country feminism has poisoned our society to a far greater extent than it ever has anywhere else.
In other countries the notion that a man is the head of the household isn't considered anti-woman, for example -- even in some countries that Americans think of as "too liberal."
For my money, the UK has some of the most vile feminist false rape apologists. They either turn to government for a career, or they become features writers in large UK newspapers.
"It simply means that women are viewed as ten times more precious than men by our pathetic society."
Absolutely. And I have a post coming next week on anonymity that fairly proves that. Female victimization is deemed far more worthy of protection than male victimization.
"This is a very astute comment"
Thanks Pierce, been reading this blog for ages now but only thought that point up when I read about this case.
BTW I sent you an email about companies such as Amazon profiting from false paedophile chants sang at football matches, I think that would be a good story to cover on thiis blog
And if I was the judge I'd give her an extra six months for her melodramaic falling down and crying stunt. This liar needs to learn that she can't get away with it by sobbing and acting crazy.
Anon, I need to go back and dig out your email -- sorry. Very difficult to keep up with it -- a lot of it I want to do something with and then get overwhelmed.
I am going to use your point as a blog post in the next several days. It tells us a lot about why our false rape culture is allowed to flourish -- it is allowed to flourish because it is considered the price of combating rape. Female victimization is deemed more worthy of protection than male victimization.
"....that society manifests a pre-judge-ice against innocent men/boys."
Yup. 40 years of organized, academic feminism. Many women's organizations are actually just a clever front for a legitimate, legal hate group.
"Many women's organizations are actually just a clever front for a legitimate, legal hate group."
But, you see, it's OK to hate the oppressors. Didn't you learn that in college?
Then it's okay for us to hate the feminists?
"Then it's okay for us to hate the feminists?"
Only if we want to be like them.
I'm not saying she was faking, but it is convenient that she 'upstaged' the guy's breaking down. No doubt many feminists and others will be haunted not by the guy breaking down, but by this nut collapsing to the floor.
She was faking. I guarantee that she has been throwing herself sobbing to the floor since she was a toddler, and has always been coddled as a result until now.

I agree with the Anonymous two above me. She was most definitely putting on a show, and more's the point, hoping she will get some shard of pity now that things have gone terribly awry for her.
Point is: did she contemplate the results of her crying wolf? Did she give one iota of thought to what would happen to someone when she cried "rape"? NO! All she thought of was herself; "I", "I", "I", "me", "me", "me".
I felt no pity for her, was utterly unmoved at the description of her reaction in court. All I felt was a sense of justice served as the judge pronounced her actions "callous" and would commit her to custody. Let us all hope she is locked away for a few years at least.
Her plan was foiled.
