In a recent story out of the United Kingdom, a law student, who had recently graduated, falsely accused her boyfriend of raping her and assaulting her a number of times. Her allegations caused her boyfriend at the time to be charged with 11 counts of rape and 9 of assault and detained in prison for 30 days. During the investigation, evidence of alibis and work records of the boyfriend dismissed some of the allegations against him. Rhiannon Brooker then admitted to fabricating the stories. She is now being prosecuted for bringing false accusations, and according to the prosecution, she did this because she was not performing well in her barrister assessments and needed an excuse to explain why.
