A woman left her blind neighbour feeling suicidal after falsely claiming that he had raped her. Jade Wass, 26, was jailed on July 11 after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice.
Prosecutor Richard Bennett said on July 8, 2020, that Wass contacted police saying that she had been attacked by a neighbour whilst camping outside of a home in Teesside.
Mr Bennett said that Wass claimed she had been asleep in the tent next to her boyfriend when she was awoken by a man, identified as Mr X in court, straddling her. She claimed that he then proceeded to make a cut throat gesture to ensure compliance before attacking her, Teesside Live reports.
