A woman who made a false claim of rape because she wanted to split up with her husband has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Bernadett Kore, 29, claimed she had been raped by two men in an alleyway off Prince of Wales Road in October. She gave police a description of two black men she had seen in a nightclub that night, and police arrested the pair after checking the club CCTV records.
Nick Methold, prosecuting in Norwich Crown Court today, said that she went to police in October last year and gave “a long and detailed story…with gory and intimate details” of her supposed ordeal. He said: “Police had devoted considerable resources to it, sealing off the area and putting extra officers onto the case, at a cost of £15,000.”
He said that her claims had a damaging effect on the two men, who were not told that they were off the hook until Kore admitted her story was made up in February. One of the victims lost three stone in weight with worry. The college tutor of one of the men described how “he went from being a bright young man, open and vivacious, to being withdrawn, tired and lacking in motivation”. His college attendance also dropped. He said: “All that can be attributed directly to the actions of this defendant in making up this wicked story.”
Kore, who has a young child and lives on Friarscroft Lane, Wymondham, had previously admitted perverting the course of justice. She was told she would have to serve half her sentence.
Sentencing her, judge Alasdair Darroch said: “You have caused very serious damage to two innocent young men. I accept you did not name any individuals and it might have been that no-one was arrested but when people were arrested, you could have corrected the record.”
He said her offence was particularly serious because false claims of rape affect the minds of jurors trying genuine cases.
Jonathan Morgans, mitigating, said: “She went home drunk to her husband and came up with the story really to get rid of him. It snowballed from there. She couldn't have realised the extent to which it would grow and grow.
“She couldn't regret it more. She simply wishes to apologise for what she has done.”
He said she had previously been of good character.
Police emphasised that rape claims are taken seriously and that false claims are very rare. Det Insp Matt Sharman, previously head of Norfolk Police's rape unit, said: “This is the first false report of rape I have come across in Norfolk in more than 20 years."
[FRS Comment] - Well, Detective, while I seriously doubt it is the first false report in more than 20 years, unless your courts hand down a serious punishment, don't expect it to be your last.

U see folks, law enforcement can now say that false Rape reports are very rare, because they can redefine what the meaning of is, is. My false rape accusser was not charged because the law enforcement refused to define the false rape accusation as such. You see folks the perversion of our law enforcement community Now RUNS DEEP. The degree of "MISSINFORMATION ALLIANCE FOR STATE AND FEDERAL PORK DOLLARS" Between law enforcement and gender feminist organisations is unconstitutional.
All Attacks on hetero-sexual males...including the manufacture of faulty and inflamatory statistics...furthers the Gender / Raunch adgenda. These faulty and inflamatory "manufactured statistics" gives amunition for Gender / Raunch proffessors accross the country to attack males. But see they don't attack all males "equally", just the hetero-sexual males.

Back to the anti-law enforcement rants, I see.
I also notice your still not reading the stories. (hint - this was in the UK)
Despite the the lie of the detective (I'll bet he thought he was doing a "service" to real rape victims by claiming never to have come across any previous FRA's), more rational and reasoned minds will easily recognize that, yet again, LE did do the proper investigation and uncovered the FRA. The only real complaint would be that it took a few months to clear the men (we aren't given details of the investigatory process to make any solid judgment, however).
And, in yet another instance, the sentencing judge has made note of the harm done specifically to the two men snared in the net of her lies (and, as he also noted, she could have set the record straight once they were arrested, but, selfishly, she did not). It's been good to see accounts of late in which the real victims are acknowledged. [this is more important than it might seem, as part of the agenda to keep FRA's off the public radar is not only to claim they are rare, but to make it seem that they are essentually "victimless crimes" - harming only LE and hypothetical future victims. Putting names and faces to suffering has always been a way for media to "drive home" stories to the public. It's high time FRA victims have their stories told, so as to reveal the harm of having let the FRA's go unchallenged for so long.]
Yes, the detective's remark play's into the agenda of down-playing FRA's. But anyone reading the British papers sees plenty of coverage of them anymore. Yes, there are some overly chivalrous white-knighting manginas in LE, who will continue to lie in ways they believe benefit women. But, even their willful ignorance does not stop FRA's from being exposed, and the lying women punished with prison (at least in the more advanced UK).
Our anonymous poster will continue to paste-in the same tired and dishonest anti-LE rants, with the repeatedly debunked claim that LE deliberately encourages FRA's and falsifies statistics for some imagine federal pay-off.
But, I hope that this forum can still continue of operate at a higher level, and continue to get out the accurate and meaningful news and commentary, not letting the message be derailed and re-routed into a misguided effort against LE (and the imaginary issue of federal pay-offs for FRA's).
slwerner, you're missing the point.
The UK Police ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY do NOT simply investigate, look for ALL the facts, then draw a logical conclusion.
What they DO do is look, most minutely, after arresting you, for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that could POSSIBLY be used in evidence against you.
*IF*, after all this, there is still insufficient evidence to charge, they will let you walk, free, but not cleared.
*IF* after all this, there is SO MUCH evidence that the accusation was false, then they may decide to prosecute the accuser for Perverting the Course of Justice.
To describe what happens as the "police exonerating the accused" is like claiming that a mugger helped you with the burden of carrying your wallet.
Remember, I have been there and have direct first hand experience of being a FRA in the UK.
This is ONE OF THE MANY REASONS those accused of rape deserve anonymity until / unless convicted, it is to keep the fucking police in line and to stop police like Detective Inspector Matt Sharman briefing the press about your arrest and charge and thus totally prejudicing any jury that you might one day find yourself stood in front of...
AfOR - "The UK Police ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY do NOT simply investigate, look for ALL the facts, then draw a logical conclusion."
Which begs the question: How then, do you account for all the stories of FRA's being uncovered, and woman prosecuted that you, yourself, link us to?
The way your case panned out does not necessarily serve as demonstrative of how ALL cases do.
The other poster has it in for ALL of LE because, in his case, a detective failed to checkout one possible piece of evidence which might have exonerated him. An oversight or mistake?
A case of a lone white-knight taking up (selectively) for the women?
Possibilities which he refuses to even consider. No! He knows, for sure that it was part of a massive conspiracy by of LE, in league with the SGI to falsely target men for FRA's in order to get a federal pay-of. No evidence, no matter how complete and compelling can ever dissuade him from his belief that all LE is out to get men, purposefully encouraging women to make FRA's and fabricating statistics (you seriously cannot have missed the many, many times he made those claims?)
Yes, police F' things up sometimes. There are even corrupt cops and prosecutors. When one looks at such a large group, there are always going to be a few bad-apples in the barrel.
And, one can also find plenty of sheer laziness and incompetence - not to mention an abundance of poor training in how to deal with such cases.
Further, one can easily find a large percentage of white-knights and feminist-activists posing as police officers.
Still, some how it is LE that manages to uncover almost every single instance where a claims is found to be false. You just cannot pretend it to be otherwise (and still hope to maintain credibility).
I'm certainly not looking to put LE on a pedestal. They need to be called out on their mistakes. Rogue elements need to be weeded out, and in many cases, prosecuted for their misdeeds. And lazy and incompetents removed before they can do further harm.
But, I do believe in giving credit where credit is due, and also on putting the bulk of the blame where it truly belongs - those who willfully choose to make false claims, disregarding the harms. They are ALWAYS the ones who get the ball rolling. [note - the other poster I referenced has specifically stated that he no longer blames his false accuser, turning his angst entirely against the police instead.]
@Anonymous anti-LE ranter:
Wild extrapolations based on personal experience are not unusual - amongst feminists, that is.
For example, I encountered a radical gender-feminist on another forum (A Feminist NOT Open to Criticism), who vehemently contends that all men, as a class, oppress all women, as a class, via the tool of rape; and that all men, as a class, derive benefit in this way.
While I can sympathize for her, as an individual victim - of another individual - the excerpt from her response to my challenge as to how all men are responsible for oppressing all women virtually deconstructs itself for the delusional extrapolation that it is:
I grew up in a violent home. I was raped, shamed and disbelieved by the authorities and thus, my rape claim will probably count as one of your “false rape” stats, since I withdrew the charges after being told “It’s your word against his, and everyone knows that women lie about these things and men don’t” by not one, not three, not even FIVE people in authority.
And this was not an isolated event. Not by a long shot
Now please, tell me again how you rationalize saying that women as a group are not oppressed?
[Does that look eerily familiar to you, by any chance?]
"A woman who made a false claim of rape because she wanted to split up with her husband has been sentenced to 18 months in prison."
WTF!?!? Is she unaware of DIVORCE?
Throughout the whole of western/modern
societies few things so empower a women who's become tired of her husband s the ability granted to them to (virtually) stab him in the back, and take half or more of everything he has, back by the confiscatory power of the Anti-family Courts.
Why the Hell did she see an FRA against other men as the way to rid herself of her husband? Usually we see the false claim (mostly DV, but rape also being a possibility) being made against the husband.
Just wondering...
Here is a programme that aired last year on UK TV channel 4.
'The Crystal Unit - Special Offences Team' is a dedicated anti-rape team.
The programme focuses on 2 alledged rapes. 1 of the rapes seems plausible, the other rape looks false. The team/police are determined to get their suspects, but overwhelming evidence against rape prevents them in one of the cases.
A very interesting programme.

SL werner, with all due respect sir, I will stick to my guns that it is in fact the "Protocol Perversion" of law enforcement over the last 30 years that has fostered the false rape culture.
This "protocol perversion" of law enforceement over the last 30 years is also the main tool for "Manufacturing faulty and inflamatory missleading statistics".
Im not here to argue with anyone about this...but there may be someone here that can see clearly that the first perversion is in fact with law enforcement current practices of "Manufacturing faulty and inflamatory statistics"
When did law enforcement get the constitutional authority to engage in the " sending messages" business???
There are now many perverts dominateing the legal community who will not bite the hand that feeds them all the "POWER AND PORK", but i believe god will not tolerate this deep perversion much longer.

Anonymous - "with all due respect sir, I will stick to my guns that it is in fact the "Protocol Perversion" of law enforcement over the last 30 years that has fostered the false rape culture."
Now, I've never claimed that changes made in the way law enforcement operates haven't had a deleterious influence WRT FRA's. But, clearly, women were already making them long before those changes occurred (lynching of black men under Jim Crow, etc.)
Yes, LE has made it easier on women (not easier for women - it's always been easy to do), but they are not, nor have they ever been the3 primary cause of FRA's.
And, the primary issue I take with your boiler-plate rants is the part in which you continue to suggest that LE gets federal pay-off for FRA's (I've debunked that multiple times now, yet you persist in throwing that crap in the mix - diluting otherwise meaningful observation you make with the "tin-foil" hat wearing conspiracy-theorist ones.
If you look back a month or so ago in the archives, you will see a case in which LE puts a price-tag on a single FRA. If memory serves, it was £24,000 - ~$37,000. It was a typical level of response to a report of a stranger rape, not an extraordinary case.
Now, as I've pointed out (with links to the evidence, typical VAWA grants run from $25,000 to $50,000 - with very few going to LE agencies, as you'll recall. Thus, a single FRA could wipe out most if not all of an agencies grant (were they fortunate enough to be the rare LE agency that even gets a grant). Yet you continue to insist that encouraging FRA's is somehow a money-making venture for LE. It's that particular nonsense I take exception to your constantly repeating.
Constsant "women as victim" propaganda allows Law Enforcement to expand their budgets. Most Law enforceemnt offices ( particularly in gender feminist dominated areas of the country) have comforteabll accomidated their Gender feminist "ALLIES" with desks right in police stations.
The degree of Gender feminist / Law enforcement missinformation "Alliance" is unconstitutional. The Gender / Raunch quack-ademics will not complain, for this faulty and inflamatory missinformation "Empowers" the Gender / Raunch community. Any attacks on hetero sexual males serves to "Empower" the Gender /Raunch community.
