Spurned housewife's rape claim backfires after husband shows police a sex tape they made together

Judge the Lord Parmoor jailed Ferguson for nine months after she falsely claimed her husband raped her

A spurned housewife who claimed her husband raped her has been jailed after he showed police a video of them having consensual sex.



Kelly-Ann Ferguson, 23, had met her husband Paul to try and patch up their broken marriage but when he refused went to police claiming he'd raped her.



A court heard Mr Ferguson was arrested on suspicion of rape but showed police officers a footage filmed on his mobile phone that proved she was 'enjoying every minute'.



When police quizzed Ferguson over the video clip she admitted she had made up the rape claim because her husband had 'treated her badly and dismissed her'.



Ferguson, of Tinkers Bridge, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, was jailed for nine months at Aylesbury Crown Court for perverting the course of justice.

Judge the Lord Parmoor said: 'When you left the home you felt it was appropriate to go to the police station and allege he had raped you.



'You provided a total first-hand account and not surprisingly police believed you and the force sprang into action.



'At some stage he said it had all been recorded on his telephone.

Aylesbury Crown Court: Ferguson claimed she made the rape allegation because she was in an 'emotional state' over the breakdown of her marriage

'On the phone, far from being raped you were enjoying every minute, if I can put it so crudely.



'It was perfectly clear your story was a pack of lies.'

The court heard the couple had been married just five months when their relationship deterioted and Ferguson left the marital home.



Prosecuter Meryl Hughes told the court: 'The couple had married in December 2010 but the marriage broke down and she left the marital home on April 14, 2011.



'On the 27th the pair met to discuss the marriage and they went back to his home, her former home.'



Judge the Lord Parmoor told Ferguson: 'Far from being raped you were enjoying every minute, if I can put it so crudely. 'It was perfectly clear your story was a pack of lies.'

But Ms Hughes told how Ferguson claimed to police her husband had forced her to perform oral sex before raping her when they went back to their marital home.



She told the court: 'She said he forced her to have oral sex, grabbing her head and forcing his penis into her mouth. She said he pushed her on the bed and forced vaginal sex.



'She said after the rape he went into a crazy rage and told her to get out and never come back.



'She eventually ended up at the police station and reported that she had been raped.'



Ms Hughes told how her husband was arrested over the rape allegations and during police interview told officers he had recorded the whole thing on his phone.



She said: 'The footage showed clips of Ferguson naked, performing oral sex. The male is not holding her head or forcing her to perform the sex act. In fact she was giggling and laughing.



'Then vaginal sex takes place and she is seen to be a willing participant.'



When confronted with the video evidence, the court heard Ferguson admitted she had made the allegations up.



Ms Hughes said: 'Officers went to speak to Ferguson to challenge her about the video and she confirmed no offence had taken place.



'She told police she had felt, at the end of the evening, he treated her badly and dismissed her.'



Mr Ferguson had spent 15 hours in custody and Thames Valley Police had spent nearly £1,500 pounds investigating the claim.



Defending counsel Katherine Duncan told the court: 'She is full of remorse for her actions. Her marriage had broken down and she was an emotional state.
