It's not the first time that Melles had made up an allegation. In 2007 she was given a caution for fabricating an incident.But it's not her fault, she's 'inadequate':
Defending her, Dan Cordey told the court that Melles was a 'sad and inadequate' young woman troubled by depression.
Her five children had been taken from her and she was keen to show her new boyfriend that she could look after his family.'Her new boyfriend'. Doesn't that just sum it all up?
Oh, and those consequences? Well, of course she doesn't have to face them. She got a suspended sentence.

you have to wonder about the 'adequacies' of the 'new boyfriend - Jeeez!
Judge Peter Bowers' judgement fell like a sharp axe on the block when he told Melles: "You have to learn that only police and pregnant women can get away with making false allegations to a court."
In a rational society, would we lock her up? (Which would damage her and cost us money), or label her as officially to be ignored, (Which only might damage her, and would cost nothing)?
There will always be people like this among us.
@MTG- "You have to learn that only police and pregnant women can get away with making false allegations to a court."
Hi, Melvin - Link for your (purported) quote please - can't find it on Google?
Mail et al have it as //Judge Peter Bowers told Melles: 'You have to learn that you cannot make false allegations to the police.
'I'm the last one to send someone to prison in your condition and your state, but if you do it again you will have to go to prison.'//
BTW - Had you not noticed that this lady IS pregnant ('in that condition') - didn't make false allegations 'to a Court' (she had already admitted the offence) - and didn't 'get away with' it - she was convicted?
"you have to wonder about the 'adequacies' of the 'new boyfriend - Jeeez!"
If he can get it up for that....
"In a rational society, would we lock her up?"
What deterrent to others if we didn't?

And, there in one sentence, lays the solution.
What amazed me is that she believed that someone would be taken in by her ill conceived plan.
"What amazed me is that she believed that someone would be taken in by her ill conceived plan."
Rather makes you wonder if she's been doing it for years and succeeding, doesn't it?
