Personality Defects…

A woman was jailed for two years today after being exposed as a serial liar who repeatedly made up stories that she had been raped.
Yes, it’s another of those ‘rare’ cases…
Blunden's lies began on July 26, 2008, when she reported to police that she had been raped by James Mabey, 26, in a hostel where she was living in Newbury.
Police then arrested Mr Mabey who was questioned for 17 hours before police realised he was innocent and released him.
And amazingly, immediately arrested her:
The judge was also told about how Blunden boasted about having sex with Mr Mabey and sent him a text message to apologise for getting him arrested.

She was then arrested herself and interviewed about her false allegations but released so that police could investigate further.
And while at large, she did it again…
While out on bail she went to a party and flirted with a man before letting three men have sex with her in a communal bathroom, one after another.

She then left the party and dialled 999 to say that her train fare money had been stolen before saying she had been gang raped by three men - Shane Roberts, 23, Craig Pilime and Colin McDonagh, both 21.
Still, this time, police were more circumspect, and…

No. Don’t be silly. Police don’t have autonomy any more:
They were all taken in to custody and were needlessly questioned for up to 13 hours each, before they were released without charge.
Perhaps a claim for wrongful arrest?
Defending Blunden Nicholas Doherty said that she needed help to 'amend her personality defects of depression and insecurities.'
She doesn’t need ‘help’; she needs an equivalent punishment to that which would have befallen the men she falsely accused.

    Dear Predator

    Any excuse to make an arrest is welcomed by the police. All that lovely DNA to harvest and all those fingerprints to take.

    Databases don't fill themselves, you know.

    How many stories are on here under the 'lying about rape' tag now? Surely this alone should be enough for a reasonable ruling party to pass a law providing anonymity for the accused or removing anonymity for the accuser!

    "...she needs an equivalent punishment to that which would have befallen the men she falsely accused."

    Since some men falsely accused of rape themselves get raped in prison that might be going a little too far but I like the idea. I'd suggest that where some poor bloke actually does time before the truth comes out the accuser must do that at least that much plus whatever the judge gives her for the false accusation itself. Where it doesn't she must do the latter sentence, have no protection of her identity and be placed on a 'Malicious and False Accuser' offenders register. On release she should be kept track of and the families of young men living nearby warned quietly by police that an offender known to make false rape accusation has moved into the area and they should be careful who they sleep with.

    @ Anonymous Lemming,

    There is more than enough evidence to prove that false accusations are very common. The cowardly Conservatives bottled it last time when a bill was proposed for a change in the law, simply because they don't want to be seen as the "nasty party".

    "Databases don't fill themselves, you know."

    *sigh* Indeed...

    "How many stories are on here under the 'lying about rape' tag now?"

    Last time I checked, over 40 - but I don't get all of them...

    "On release she should be kept track of and the families of young men living nearby warned quietly by police that an offender known to make false rape accusation has moved into the area and they should be careful who they sleep with."

    Oooh, I could see Harriet Harman's head exploding at that one! :)

    "The cowardly Conservatives bottled it last time when a bill was proposed for a change in the law, simply because they don't want to be seen as the "nasty party"."

    Yet it would merely have confirmed them as the 'natural justice' party. Missed opportunities...

    XX Perhaps a claim for wrongful arrest? XX

    Interesting point. And in ALL these stories, it appears to be THE missing element.

    Or has the Westminster dictatorship managed to abolish that particular offence?
