Police were informed on Wednesday of the allegation, after which specialist detectives from the Sexual Offences Investigation team looked into the claims.
These proved to be negative, and no such assault has occurred.

Prosecutorial Misconduct is alive and well.

NYC Rape Exoneree Gets $18.5M for 20 Yrs in Jail NEW YORK,
Oct. 20, 2010
(CBS/ AP) A jury has awarded $18.5 million to a New York City man who was exonerated four years ago after spending more than two decades in prison.
Alan Newton was cleared by DNA evidence in 2006. He had been sentenced in 1985 to up to 40 years in prison after being convicted of raping a woman in an abandoned building.
In awarding the money Tuesday, the federal jury in Manhattan ruled the city had violated Newton's constitutional rights. It also found two police officers had failed to produce Newton's evidence when requested.
According to the New York Times, a rape kit from the case was found in a Police Department warehouse in 2005 - about a decade after Mr. Newton and his lawyers had requested it - and subsequent testing showed that DNA collected from the victim did not match. The city says it will appeal. Newton told The New York Times it's something he'd been fighting for since he was freed in 2006.
"I’m just real numb right now," Newton told the Times Tuesday after a jury ruled the city had violated his constitutional rights. "It hasn't really sunk in. It's so emotional. It's something I've been fighting for the last four years, since I came home. I'm just glad things worked out at the end of the day."
His case has been supported by the non-profit Innocence Project, which seeks to free convicts through DNA evidence. Watch an interview with Newton after his release in 2006 below: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/10/20/national/main6975585.shtml?tag=stack

Judge Goldstaub said: 'Perverting the course of justice is a serious matter.
'A false allegation of rape - as a result a man is arrested in his home, he spent 15 weeks on bail and there were 235 man hours wasted.
'It has a bad impact on people and affects rape cases all over the country.'
After the case, Chief Inspector Joe Wrigley, of Essex Police, said: 'Justice has been done and I hope it serves as a warning to anyone who would want to make a false allegation.
'There are enough real crimes for us to investigate.The real victims need our support and those who don't should refrain from doing this.'
That makes 3 FRA's imprisoned this week alone in the UK that made it to media highlights.
FRA's are anything BUT rare.
The root of the false rape culture, false domestic violence culture, the false wage gap culture, is that the new Gender / Raunch community on college campuses around the country "Empower" themselves with all the faulty and inflammatory rhetoric.
American law enforcement are now "manufacturing faulty and inflammatory statistics" so the Gender / Raunch pervert professors can "Empower" themselves by stepping on the heads of males, (whoops, i mean the heterosexual males).
The Gender / raunch community are the dominant American paradigm "constructionists" in the majority of American media outlets. America is on its way to the "culture of homosexuality", and the pope can't stop it, no one can stop it cause no one knows where their "Empowerment" is coming from. Their main instrument for "Empowerment" is American law enforcements unconstitutional activities of manufactured statistic, and misinformation.
If the truth came out that false rape accusations outnumber real ones 10 to 1, this would quickly humble the "Gender / Raunch Klan Empowerment".
If the truth came out that 85% of repeat violent offenders grew up with no mlae role models, this would quickly deflate the "Empowerment" of the Gender / Raunch community.
If the truth came out the biggest losers would be the superpower status of the Gender / Raunch community who is turning our girls into pole dancing Raunch girls, and turning our boys into sexual deviants.
Arod99k - "Prosecutorial Misconduct is alive and well."
You've documented your hatred for prosecutors quite well already, so why go completely over-the-top and misrepresent the case of Alan Newton as a matter of Judaical Misconduct?
I suppose as one who's been the target of your little rants, I suppose I should be glad that in trying to make the claim you have that you've exposed yourself as either illiterate and ignorant, or just dishonest, thereby demonstrating you lack of credibility.
Aside fro the fact that this was a case from 1984, and not something recent (as ”alive and well” would suggest), it was never even considered to be a matter of a wrongful conviction based on any wrongdoing on the part of either police or prosecutors.
According to the Innocence Project, this was a case of mis-identification, not judicial misconduct "While still in the hospital recovering from surgery, the victim viewed nearly two hundred photographs on June 24 and 25, 1984, and selected Alan Newton’s photo. On June 28, 1984, police picked up the victim from the hospital and brought her in to view a lineup. She identified Newton in the lineup and again at trial.
On June 27, 1984, the convenience store clerk from which the victim was abducted identified Newton in a photo lineup, and in a live lineup the next day."
And, although DNA evidence was collected at the time, it was not routinely used back in the 80's. His defense did not even request that it be analyzed until after he'd spent nearly a decade in prison, after which it was a Judge and the police who initially thwarted their efforts, and it wasn't until the DA's office was asked to get involved that the evidence was retrieved and analyzed.
"Vanessa Potkin of the Innocence Project, Alan first started asking for testing in 1994. He was filing motions on his own without counsel. And repeatedly officials at the NYPD said that they did a search for the rape kit and that they couldn't find it.
Of course, in 2004, we reached out to the Bronx district attorney's office and Lisa Conderman, who heads the sex crimes unit. You know, really asked for a thorough search. And the rape kit, lo and behold, was exactly on the shelf where it should have been."
And from the Innocence Project's page on Newton, again we see that they credit the DA with helping the cause:
"In 2005, at the request of the Innocence Project, the Bronx County District Attorney’s Office asked the Property Clerk Division to conduct a search for the victim’s rape kit, despite claims made by officials at the Property Clerk’s Office over the course of eleven years that the kit could not be located and was presumed destroyed. In November 2005, the kit was found after a physical search of the evidence barrels at the Pearson Place, Queens warehouse. The rape kit was found in the same barrel that was indicated on the evidence voucher."
So, this is matter of police mis-conduct – specifically a couple of evidence clerks who were likely simply to lazy to make a simple effort to go to the properly identified evidence bin.
That's exactly what the jury who award Newton $22M concluded:
"The jury reached the verdict by concluding today that the city had violated Alan Newton's constitutional rights and the two police officers had failed to produce Alan Newton's evidence when it was requested."
I think it's quite clear to anyone not blinded by hatred that there was never any judicial misconduct in this case.
AfOR - ”That makes 3 FRA's imprisoned this week alone in the UK that made it to media highlights.
FRA's are anything BUT rare.”
A very good point. I would add that while 3 may seem like a small number to some, it is a number whittled down from a much larger number of FRA's that are made.
Of course, some are simply never discovered. I doubt that we'll ever really get a good “handle” on just how many of those cases in which a suspect is never identified, and which go on to become “cold cases” were really just fabrications.
In many cases, claims end-up simply classified as “unfounded” or “unknown”, and are summarily “dropped” without ever considering charges against the accuser. And, even cases where it is well determined that the claim was entirely false, there simply isn't enough evidence to hope to convict the the false accuser (especially of a felony level charge such as the UK's Perverting the Course of Justice) and any possible prosecution is declined.
Then, even in those case where there is determined to be sufficient evidence to move forward, any number of those cases are adjudicated via plea deals which keep the liar from doing time (and, likely, keep their names and cases out of the press).
So, in the end, those 3 cases (in just one week) represent only a (small) fraction of the overall number of cases in which rape claims are either determined to be false or cannot be corroborated.
The other point to make about this is the apparent trend we are seeing in proper investigations being done, false claims routed out, and the liars being prosecuted and jailed.
It wasn't too many years back when this would have been extremely rare. Women just didn't get into any serious trouble for their evil deeds (in making FRA's). And, police often just took them at their word, and didn't bother with proper investigations – and it was left to juries to try to sort it out.
At least it now seems that LE is catching on. I'd like to think that eh exposure to the issue provided by the FRS has had a hand in helping to guide the seeming, yet never announced, “reform” that appears to be ongoing.
FYI.
In the UK all Police interrogations are recorded on audio cassette tape.
In the UK the Police pass the bundle to CPS (the distinction between the two is blurred in reality) who are the ones who make the decision to charge or not.
In reality, FRA's here only ever result in a charge and Court case if the FRA makes an admission on tape that the accusation was false.
Work out for yourself how small a proportion of all FRA's that is.

Im considering a massive outreach to male college students around the country. I would walk around campuses handing out small pieces of paper with the false rape societies web address on it. The question is could the false Rape society handle the massive influx of traffic???
Study Finds Hundreds of Cases of Prosecutorial Misconduct in California
By: Nsenga Burton | Posted: October 5, 2010
A law school study discovers 707 cases in which state, U.S. and appellate courts found misconduct in opinions between 1997 and 2009. The authors criticize the State Bar for disciplining only 6 prosecutors. Hundreds of prosecutors in California — including many in Los Angeles County — have committed misconduct with near impunity as authorities failed to either report or discipline them, according to a report released Monday.The misconduct ranged from asking witnesses improper questions during trial to failing to turn over evidence that could help a defendant and presenting false evidence in court, according to the report, which was issued by an innocence project at the Santa Clara University School of Law. The researchers discovered 707 cases in which state and federal courts and appellate courts found prosecutorial misconduct in opinions issued between 1997 and 2009.
