A WOMAN who allegedly falsely claimed she was raped at a Hampshire beauty spot has appeared in court for the first time.
Gemma Mann is charged with perverting the course of justice in relation to an alleged incident at Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley on November 14, which sparked a largescale police investigation.
Yesterday, the 24-year-old, of St Clements Way, Bishopdown, Salisbury, attended a preliminary hearing at Southampton Magistrates’ Court.
No plea was entered and Mann was released on unconditional bail until December 3, when she is due to appear at Southampton Crown Court.
