Drunk Girl Squeals Rape, Jailed for Only 2 Months
August 6th 2008 04:44
Something like rehabilitation for drinking would be more appropriate, perhaps thrown in with public humiliation and maybe two or three years in the slammer. Hey, had she stuck to her story like she was planning to because she was afraid of what would have happened to her, the accused would have lost his family, his work, and been put in prison for years.
Taxi driver Aftab Ahmed, 44, of Allerton, Bradford, was accused of rape in January last year after driving the girl home.
The 17-year-old had been out drinking in Bradford city centre with her sister and friends before they put her in his taxi.
The
girl, from Shipley, West Yorkshire, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice when her case came to trial last month.
Speaking after she was sentenced to a four-month detention and training order at Bradford Magistrates' Court, Mr Ahmed said the girl had "destroyed" his life.
The teenager was told she would serve two months in custody, but the married father of 11-year-old twin daughters said: "Today is the worst day of my life, I can't imagine that the person who destroyed a whole family got only two months.
"I'm completely shattered by the news.
"She has destroyed my family life, my social life, and she has destroyed me economically. She destroyed my credibility.
"There is also the effect on my children.
"I believe they didn't consider these things completely.
"She should be named and shamed."
So how did we all find out the truth? Did she finally realize what she was doing and admit that it was all a fib?
Erhem, fat chance...
Yeah, she still insisted she was innocent until she realized it was getting too obvious that she was lying.
And some people would argue there is a taboo placed on women who cry rape, oh and how their cases are not treated seriously and all that.

After an investigation police said it was "simply impossible" for the allegation to be true.
The 17-year-old appeared in court in April last year charged with perverting the course of justice.
She initially entered a not guilty plea but changed her plea to guilty at Bingley Youth Court last month.
