Judge blasts fantasist, 27, for failing to show any remorse for falsely accusing 15 men of rape and


An appeal court has backed the 10-year jail term given to a fantasist who made false rape allegations against a series of men and thrown out her claims she was wrongly convicted, Daily Mail reported.
Jemma Beale , from Bedfont, west London, was handed the prison sentence for perverting the course of justice and perjury after she made fake sex attack claims against 15 men - one of whom was jailed for two years and another fled the country.
The 27-year-old however continues to protest her innocence and today asked senior judges to overturn her conviction.
Her lawyers told the Court of Appeal that the judge hadn't warned the jury about the 'myths and stereotypes' which swirl around false rape claim cases.
They also claimed, even if she was guilty, she should have been given a shorter sentence because she had been abused as a child.
But Lady Justice Hallett, one of England's most senior female judges, was one of three judges who dismissed both of the appeals and sent Beale back to prison.
Lady Justice Hallett said: 'This case went far further then myths and stereotypes about a complainant's behaviour. The appellant was accused of being a serial liar who fabricated accounts mostly of a sexual nature.
'In the light of the evidence called even if the guidance was given it would not have assisted the appellant.
'The system of justice has suffered considerable harm - considerable resources have been spent
investigating and prosecuting crimes which never happened. There has been no indication of remorse on the appellant's part.'

Earlier in the hearing, Beale's QC, Gillian Jones, had told the court: 'The learned judge erred because he failed to give a direction about the dangers of myths and stereotypes.
'She was the subject of extensive media scrutiny in which she was vilified.
'The effect of which might have been to further prejudice the jury in the absence of such a direction.
