A navy officer who seduced her ex-lover and then cried rape was jailed for a year yesterday.

Erin Casson, 27, had sex with Brian Eaton three months after their relationship ended at the home of her new boyfriend.

Police dropped her rape claim after suspicions she was lying about the attack and charged her with making a false allegation.

Communications officer Casson was found guilty yesterday of perverting the course of justice.

Jailing her at Portsmouth crown court, Judge Graham White told her: "You put Mr Eaton through hell."

Casson, of Portchester, Hants, has since wed her Royal Navy boyfriend.
