A WOMAN who admitted making up a rape allegation has been cautioned for wasting police time.
The 20-year-old woman from High Wycombe told officers she was raped in the town in the early hours of Sunday October 17.
But police discovered the incident never happened following an investigation and arrested the woman two days later.
Thames Valley Police then gave the woman a caution.
Det Ch Insp Rebecca Mears said: “Stranger rapes are very rare and all such allegations are taken extremely seriously. They are thoroughly investigated by a large number of specialist police officers and staff so that the rapist can be brought to justice as quickly as possible and the victim is supported throughout.
“All calls to the police are treated as genuine unless proven otherwise but we will not hesitate to prosecute people who make false allegations.
“Not only do false rape allegations cost a great deal of public money, but they result in officers having less time to investigate real crimes.”

"All calls to the police are treated as genuine unless proven otherwise but we will not hesitate to prosecute people who make false allegations."
If that is true, why is she getting off with a warning...
The new American "false rape culture", is more about "Empowerment" of gender feminists than it is about protecting women from rapes.
Gender feminists have told law enforcement that "by charging false rape accusers, it somehow deters real victims from "coming forward"." Now Most law enforcement jurisdictions (especially areas of the country that are Gender / Raunch dominant), no longer charge false rape accusers because of this "fishy theory".
I would like to see the studies of this ??fishy theory?? that "charging false rape accusers somehow deters real victims from coming forward." because one very real consequence of no longer charging false rape accusers is an explosion of false rape accusations.
Now there are so many false rape accusations on campuses around the country that there are what i call "campus Gender / Raunch pervert courts", where lies are routine, and boys are forced to plead guilty to crimes that never happened because of a Gender feminist mob mentality( not unlike the mobs that rapelynched black men 80 years ago)...but see these pervert courts are not ruled by any substantive legal systems..they are ruled by Gender / raunch perverts who get ":Empowerment" from attacking innocent young men, and the truth never has to come out, for these campus Empowerment pervert courts, do not run by the American rule of law...they run on "pervert Empowerment mob law."
These campus courts, where false rape accusations are the norm, rather than the exception, are unconstitutional. But see, so many perverts are gaining "Empowerment" from this perversion, that no one dares to stand up and call it what it is, an unconstitutional perversion.
"Det Ch Insp Rebecca Mears said: “Stranger rapes are very rare and all such allegations are taken extremely seriously."
Here is one slice of truth, then she goes on to speak "perversion of truth".
"Det Ch Insp Rebecca Mears said: “Stranger rapes are very rare..""
Which is true. Stranger rape is rare. And "date rape" is bullshit that was invented by feminists because stranger rape is rare. Therefore, rape is rare.
Gogonostop,
Thanks to our friend AfOR, we know that a Caution is on the permanent police record, and any CRB check will bring it up. So while she isn't getting any jail time, there are some consequences to what happened.

Unfortunately, something similar is not done in the U.S. There needs to be a public registry of false rape accusers. There are also numerous cases where someone has made numerous false accusations.
Agreed.
In UK Law a "Caution" is not what it sounds like... similarly when your driving licence gets an "Endorsement" it isn't what it sounds like either...
Accepting a caution in a police station is an admission of guilt, saving yourself and the system from the time and expense of a trial.
It is called a "Caution" on your record to differentiate it from being found guilty at trial, but essentially to all legal and law enforcement professionals it reads as being pretty much the same thing.
(FYI an endorsement on a driving licence is a black mark, so doing 50 in a 30 will get you an endorsement for speeding, plus say 3 penalty points, if you get 12 points you get a 12 month ban... a licence endorsement does NOT mean you are a good driver.)
Ah, thanks for clearing that up.
Thanks to AfOR for the clarification regarding "Cautions".
"But police discovered the incident never happened following an investigation and arrested the woman two days later.
Thames Valley Police then gave the woman a caution."
While this is certainly not the top charge available to LE, I do believe this goes along with "sliding scale" of punishments previously suggested on this forum.
In this case, it appears that her lies caused no harm to any innocent men; and, it might well be that confronted with the emerging evidence against her claim, she quickly confessed, sparing any further effort and expense.
If so, then it is perfectly fitting that her punishment be less than that given a woman who maintained her lies for some time, causing significantly more expense, and even leading to harm befalling innocent men.
