Jailed for one year in 2013
Cathy Richardson, 26, from Viking Court in Shoebury, Essex, told officers she had been sexually assaulted several times over two months in 2012 by a man she knew.
A man was arrested on suspicion of rape but was later released without charge after a series of interviews.
Richardson was jailed for 12 months at Basildon Crown Court after admitting perverting the course of justice.
Sentenced to 5 years in September on similar charges

CCTV, phone data, and information from ANPR cameras later proved the alleged attacker was not in the area at the time Richardson claimed the assaults took place.
One of the men even agreed to have a GPS tracking tag fitted to his ankle, which would send an alarm to police if it was taken off.
Data from the tag was analysed and showed he was not in the area when an alleged attack supposedly happened.
