August 17, 2007: A man tells Greater Manchester Police his lover had been raped by the married John Mulholland. In April 2007! He made this report in good faith; he was not to know that while he was in prison, she and the real victim had had a one-night stand. Stacey Challoner gave a video statement to the police, and Mr Mulholland was arrested.
In spite of her young age, Challoner was said to be a mother of three, which raises questions about Mr Mullholland’s taste in women rather than any alleged criminality.
On August 23, Challoner admitted she had lied. In February 2008, after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice, she was given a 4 month sentence at Manchester Crown Court.
Here is a report from the London Evening Standard, and here is more of the same from the local press.
The latter contains an extremely poorly cropped photo of the lovely lass, but courtesy of the Daily Mail you will see the full monty below along with one of her victim.
