A criminology student has been jailed for 16 months after falsely accusing a taxi driver of sexual assault, after he refused to take her kebab-drenched £10 note (US$13.50).
Sophie Pointon, 22, called the police in the early hours of April 22 this year after a night out in Leeds city center, claiming that a taxi driver sexually “attacked” her in the back of a cab, the Yorksire Evening Post reported.
