March 2011: Self-styled bondage princess Kirsty Sowden meets a much older man for fun and games; whether or not actual sexual intercourse was on the menu, it happened, and it was consensual, but that is not what she told Kent Police. Initially, at any rate. She claimed to have been attacked outdoors by a stranger. Her victim (who will not be named here) and another man were arrested.
Finally, after around 376 hours of police time and £14,000 of public money had been wasted, she came clean. In April 2012, she was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court to 14 months behind bars after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice. She made the false allegation because she said her boyfriend would kill her if he found out.
Having said that, the big question has to be is her name pronounced OW as in sow or OH as in ho?
