Leyla Elhand Mohamed Ibrahim, 22-year old woman from Carlisle, Cumbria UK, wanted to teach her male friend a lesson after she had a fight with him when he refused to lend her the money for a taxi home after a night out. So, she cut and tore the blue frilly dress she was wearing as well as her black leggings and bra, leaving her breasts partially exposed. She also hacked off clumps of her own hair, gave herself a black eye and a suspected broken cheekbone, scratched her breasts and legs and finally left one of her shoes at the scene of the supposed attack.

She reported the crime at the early hours of January 4th 2010 which resulted in a massive police manhunt costing more than $230,000. Four students students – one of whom attempted self-harm after having been held in custody for more than 36 hours – were questioned, arrested and submitted to intimate examinations.

Ibrahim, who came to Britain from Libya with her family when she was nine and worked at a petrol station at the time of the alleged attack, was told by Judge Paul Batty QC she would be jailed. ‘Not only did these false allegations have an effect on four young men, but also a considerable effect on your own family,’ he said. ‘You were convicted on clear and compelling evidence of wickedly fabricating a grave crime, causing countless anguish to all involved.’ He added: ‘A custodial sentence is inevitable because this crime strikes to the heart of the criminal justice system.’ Source: www.dailymail.co.uk

The stupid woman didn’t realize that her lesson could result in authorities questioning rape victims’ credibility? And for the men she accused, she might have left them with trauma for their whole life. Shame on you Leyla!
