Complaint 'false'

Nelson - A 19-year-old Nelson woman who accused a man of rape after a party in Nelson has been charged with making a false statement.

The woman claimed she was raped after sharing a taxi home with the man on March 27. Nelson Police Detective Sergeant Kevin Tiernan said the woman's complaint resulted in several officers called back from their Easter holidays and more than 100 hours of police time spent on investigations.

The woman will appear in court on May 10.
