A 22-year-old woman studying in England is spending 16 months behind bars for falsely accusing a taxi driver of sexually assaulting her, back in April.
Sophie Pointon told police officers her taxi driver molested her in the back of his car when she was heading home after a night out in Leeds. The driver, whose story was corroborated by voice recording, denied the assault claim and said Pointon was extremely intoxicated and became aggressive after he refused to take her £10 because it was covered in kebab oil.
