Birkenhead prostitute jailed for false rape accusation

So once again, we see a story where a man is arrested and held for almost a day, BEFORE the investigation uncovers the evidence that no crime was committed. Maybe the police should try the investigation part first, and the arrest part second. And notice, that the theft of the iPod, merits almost as much time as falsely accusing someone of rape.


A PROSTITUTE was sentenced to more than two years in jail after falsely accusing a man of raping her at knifepoint.

Shinaed Kelly, 20, was only on her second night as a sex worker when she accused the innocent man of attacking her in Liverpool city centre.

Martin Decker, prosecuting, said on September 24 last year, Kelly approached a policeman while she was working in Devon Street to complain of a man “acting weird”.

The officer spoke to a man and moved him on.

Mr Decker said: “Later that evening, she said she was raped by the same male who was harassing her earlier.

“He produced an 8in kitchen knife and held it to her throat.”

Kelly told police the man then raped her.

Police arrested a man and held him for 19 hours but after checking CCTV where the rape was supposed to have happened realised the story didn’t add up.

Six days later Kelly, of Green Lane, Birkenhead, admitted she lied.

Jeff Clarke, defending, said Kelly was immature.

Judge David Aubrey QC said every false allegation of rape made it harder for genuine victims to come forward.

He sentenced Kelly to 16 months in a young offenders institution, plus an extra year for robbing an Ipod from a 15-year-old girl.

Investigate first?

Now that sounds like a radical idea!

Ten more years of this false-rape claim madness and few people are ever going to believe any rape claims.

Police should have learned a lesson from the Duke case-prostitutes don't always tell the truth.

Well, NATURALLY, as the iPod was stolen from a woman...

playing and feeding into the women as victim hysteria, and "manufacturing statistics" towards that end, is modern American law enforcements "Pork cow".
If the tea party went after the perversion of American law enforcements "Pork for perversion of statistics", "pork cow", then we could probably balance the budget fairly quickly.

Yes, she's going to jail for two years: because this happened in the UK, not in the good ol' USA, world capital of femicommunism, where false rape accusations are treated as less of a crime than fishing without a license.

Maybe we should have stood by King George!

As though the only serious thing about false rape accusations is that it harms women who really are raped.

And not true, really. After all, if YOU were raped, wouldn't you struggle? I sure would!

Real rapes leave real evidence.

". . . if YOU were raped, wouldn't you struggle? I sure would!"

Generally true. Not so where the rapist is threatening your life and you figure the best course is to get it over with. But the absence of resistance for college kids who know each other is certainly a legitimate point to bring up to the jury.

No,we should have stood up to feminists.

Archivist: true. But still, you could reasonably still expect to find internal injuries, such as cavity tears, even if the victim is otherwise passively submitting.

Wait....

So this is all the Tea Party's fault?

Despite the fact that this one happened in England the Tea Party is NOT a political body. Moron. It is a grassroots effort to change the insane taxation and wasteful spending by AMERICAN pols, not a special interest lobby.

Bringing the Tea Party into this is ridiculous and totally destroys any credibility your statement might have had.

Just keep your Obama-fascist crap to yourself and stay on-target, huh?

Liberalism, just like feminism, is a psychological disorder.

Seek help.

And-

My apologies to Archivist and everyone else who manages to remain on-point and not be somebody who adds to the divisiveness instead of fighting it.

I just refuse to allow insidious sock puppets to distract from the more important issues this blog is designed to address.

This is off topic but it shows how crazy females are and why they should never be believed without substantial Proof.

A woman who threw acid in her own face and blamed it on an unidentified stranger was ordered to pay a fine and seek mental health treatment after pleading guilty to lying to cops.

Bethany Storro, a 28-year-old supermarket clerk for Vancouver, Wash., will pay a $500 fine, $4,000 in restitution and serve 240 hours of community service.

"I am genuinely and deeply sorry, I am getting the help I need," said Storro, who was wearing a plastic medical mask over her scarred face.

Storrro claimed last year that a woman she did not know threw a cup of acid at her, burning the skin all over her face.

After reporting the attack on Aug. 30, she received nearly $28,000 in donations, some of which she spent on clothes, train tickets and dinners for her parents, police said.

Police soon became suspicious after comparing photos of Storro to other acid attack victims.

She later confessed to wiping her face with drain cleaner for hours before claiming she was attacked, cops said.

The hoax was initially a suicide attempt that later turned into an opportunity to get cosmetic surgery, police said.

She was originally charged with theft, but those charges were dropped when she returned the $28,000.

"It is a very sad situation," Clark County Superior Court Judge John Nichols said during sentencing.
