Lawyer jailed for false rape claims against boyfriend

A lying law graduate who falsely accused her boyfriend of rape so she would have an excuse for failing her legal exams has been jailed for three-and-a-half years.

Rhiannon Brooker, 30, falsely claimed that Paul Fensome, 46, forced her to have sex with him on five occasions and faked injuries to suggest he had beaten her.

The Birmingham law graduate even alleged that Mr Fensome caused her to have a miscarriage by punching her in the stomach.
