Woman, 20, gets probation for falsely accusing man of rape after he refused to pay $1,200 for sex

He arrived near her home at around 6.15pm, before they headed to a bar for food and drinks.

Later that night, they went to a Cavenagh Road hotel, where they had consensual sexual intercourse.

Afterwards, Ling asked him for $1,200, but he refused to pay her, said SPO Teo.

“Claris became angry and started to scold (the man, who) told her that he would pay her $500, but Claris refused.”

Court documents did not state whether the man had earlier agreed to pay her $1,200 for sex.

At around 12.30am on March 19, Ling told the man that she would call the police and inform them that he had “raped” her.

She made the call about six minutes later, the court heard.

A policewoman arrived at the hotel at around 12.45am and Ling lied to the officer, claiming that the man had raped her while she was intoxicated in the hotel room.

At around 2am, a policeman interviewed Ling, and she gave a similar false account.

The two officers later told Ling that her version of events was not corroborated by CCTV footage from the hotel.

At around 2.10am, Ling finally came clean about what she had done.

She was charged in court in June.
