Blimey!

What a fucking joke!
She should be doing hard time in the pen to the tune of 20 or more years.
Like I have said and will keep saying justice in the western nations has been ass raped and pervreted to the point that there is no justice left in the western nations

Yeah... that sentence caught my eye as well. We've seen allot of words/tactics having been used to sentence males/excuse females, but the usage of the word 'unchivalrous' as a defence really tops it off.

It sounds as though both false claims were made on the same day. That is poor police work at best.

Also, why does it matter that this criminal is a "mum"? Finally, why is this 20 year old in "young offenders' institution"?

Teesside mum locked up for false rape claim

A YOUNG mum is now behind bars after having consensual sex with two men on the same day then making false rape claims against them both.
Faye Branighan from Middlesbrough was sentenced to eight months in a young offenders’ institution for making fictitious reports of rape.
At Teesside Crown Court yesterday, Judge Brian Forster QC said the 20-year-old’s actions had “severely affected the lives” of the two men whom she accused of raping her in her home on August 14 last year.
She had wasted 154 hours of police time.
In the first complaint, Branighan told police that an Asian man had pushed her into her house on Waterloo Road then raped her in the sitting room.
She claimed she had then stayed at home for the rest of the day.
“Police conducted inquiries and recovered CCTV from the shops on the street where she lives showing her at the shop in the late afternoon with another female chatting and consuming alcohol,” said Ian Mullarkey, prosecuting.
“Clearly that was inconsistent with the account she had given to police.”
The girl she had been with was interviewed and told police, who said she was with Branighan most of the day.
“She said when the Asian male arrived, he and Branighan went upstairs and seemed to engage in consensual sexual intercourse,” said Mr Mullarkey.
...When questioned later, Branighan admitted she had not be raped by the Asian male but then went on to make a second allegation.
She claimed that after the first encounter she went out drinking with friends in Middlesbrough, met two men and took them back to her house.
“She said one left and the other one forced her on the sofa, pulled her trousers off and raped her,” said Mr Mullarkey.
Both men were traced and arrested and further inquiries were made which indicated that the second allegation was also false.
Brian Russell, defending, said that Branighan was “uncharacteristically promiscuous” on that day as she was suffering from severe depression.
“It’s very hard to explain quite what was going on in Faye Branighan’s mind when she spoke to police,” he said.
The encounters, he said, were very brief.
“When they had finished they left Ms Branighan straightaway,” and “left her feeling distressed with her own behaviour” he added.
Mr Russell said he did not wish to criticise the complainants but said their behaviour was “unchivalrous”.
But Judge Brian Forster QC said a clear message must be sent out to prevent other people making false rape claims.
“Cleveland Police do everything they can to give support to rape victims,” he said.
“It’s right and it’s common sense that their time should be directed at those who need such help and support following real incidents.”
Branighan, who has a two-year-old son and was living at Rounton Green at the time of going to court, wailed as she was led away to prison.

thought i smelled some fish...

As there were two threads about this case, I thought it would be best to merge them together.

It's a start.

"Mr Russell said he did not wish to criticise the complainants but said their behaviour was “unchivalrous”"

That's basically the same as highlighting the fact that a rape victim was wearing a slightly short skirt. It is of no relevance.

I am glad the report called her a 'young mum' as it puts mums in the frame. They have been 'untouchable' for too long.

"Also, why does it matter that this criminal is a "mum"?"

maybe because the feminists want immunity from imprisonment for all mothers (though not fathers of course)
