Rape is a terrible heinous and evil crime, that is why men want to make sure when a woman is accusing someone of rape that they are telling the truth. Once you are branded a rapist it is very difficult to shake that even if you are found innocent.
I hope this woman spends a lot of time in jail.
A woman who falsely accused two soldiers of attempting to rape her after having sex with them on a drunken night has admitted she made up claims of the attack.
Nicole Richess was too ashamed to tell her boyfriend she had cheated on him with the two men so she lied and said they had forced themselves on her.
The 20-year-old now faces jails after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice yesterday.
The 24-year-old solider, who does not want to be identified, said: ‘When the allegation was made I was petrified, I’ve never been so scared in all my life.
‘It didn’t just impact on us, it impacted on everyone we knew – friends, family, work. It could have been the end of my life.
‘That stigma you have attached to you the whole time is horrible, it affects everything, like relationships. I’m glad it’s over and hopefully she will get what she deserves.’
The other man said: ‘My family were distraught about the allegations and the worry has been the biggest thing for me.
‘It’s a big weight of my shoulders that it’s done now. I’m just relieved and happy it’s over.’
I think her sentence should be whatever they would have given the men if they were found guilty.
