Two teenage girls who sparked a police investigation after falsely claiming they had been raped have been warned that they could face jail.
Rebecca Wood and Johanna Law, both 17, called police from Tentsmuir Forest in Fife, saying that a man had attempted to rape them.
In an appearance at Cupar Sheriff Court, Woods admitted making false allegations to a police call handler.
The resulting investigation caused officers of Fife Constabulary to devote their time to investigating the claim, leaving members of the public potentially under suspicion of attempted rape.
Low pleaded guilty to the same charge by letter.
Sheriff Charles Macnair deferred sentence until next month for social background reports, and an assessment of the pair's ability to carry out community service as a direct alternative to a jail term.[FRS COMMENT] - We will keep an eye open for an article on the sentencing, and pass it along as soon as there is something to relay.

These girls are having fun... just give them a break!
Welcome to the new false rape culture. Its mostly the high school and college students who are facing the brunt of the new false rape culture. Girls are now feeling the surge of "Empowerment" when they say they have been raped, when no rape happened, because they know 1 in 5000 false rape accusations are charged.
I hope these young girls pay the price for their lying. Some innocent fellow could have went to jail because of their lies. I hope fewer women and girls will lie about rape in the future.
How the hell is that having fun? Someone innocent could have gone to jail. They wasted the time of police, and made people wonder if there was a new rapist out there. That isn't funny.
