October 2011: Emily Pike meets with Tom Mills for sex at a Bristol hotel. This was the first time they had met in the flesh, and when he saw her, he backed out. When you see her, you’ll understand why! Miffed, she told police he’d raped her in both the hotel and his car. CCTV to the rescue, and in July 2014 she is given an 18 month sentence.
The most predictable thing about this story is the accompanying quote from a police officer that such cases were rare. Bristol Crown Court heard she had a history of telling ‘fantastic lies’, including making a previous false rape claim (for which she was convicted).
