Mum made fake rape claim to avoid justice for her own campaign of sexual abuse

Sarah Campbell subjected the boy to months of abuse during 2015 and 2016 but was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court earlier this week. The court heard Campbell offered the boy drugs so they could “get off their barnets” and that she had sex with him on a golf course.
