Allegations of Sexual

A women's centre in New Plymouth
says false complaints of sex attacks are far outnumbered by women who are
raped and abused but don't report it. A woman has been charged with
making a false complaint of sexual assault, a girl's been referred to youth
aid and the police say three similar allegations in New Plymouth over the
last fortnight lack credibility. They've warned that false
complainants can be jailed for three months. The New Plymouth Women's Centre
coordinator Mary Allen is pleased detectives are inviting genuine complaints
as a lot of victims don't go to the police.
