A woman who falsely accused two army soldiers of attempted rape because she was ashamed of having a threesome with them has been jailed.
Nicole Richess, 20, was given a two and a half year sentence after making the claims in 2012 when her boyfriend Alex Ganter found out about her affair.
Richess ‘panicked’ and said the two innocent men, aged 23 and 24, had forced themselves on her because she was too ashamed to tell Mr Ganter she had cheated on him.
She actually had consensual sex with the two servicemen at a friend’s house and then her own home at the end of a night out in Bournemouth.
Her ‘deceitful web of lies’ resulted in the arrest of the two soldiers leaving them ‘distraught and petrified.’
However, officers began to realise she was lying after an investigation and she was charged with perverting the course of justice.
Richess was jailed on Thursday, with the judge saying her lies had an ‘insidious and corrosive’ effect on public confidence and the justice system.
The soldiers, who were absent from today’s hearing, were told they would face no charges two weeks after the incident.
