Student jailed over rape lies

A teenager who accused a taxi driver of raping her has been jailed after a
mobile phone video captured her begging him for sex.

A-level student Seonad Campbell, 18, pleaded guilty to perverting the
course of justice and was given an eight-month sentence.

Her lie was uncovered when the driver showed police the video of
Campbell repeatedly asking for sex before he agreed

After her complaint, a taxi driver unconnected to the incident was wrongly
arrested on suspicion of rape.

Then his colleague was held for more than an hour until he produced the
video. Campbell, from Goole, East Yorks, was described at Hull crown
court as a girl who could not handle her drink. Anil Murray, defending,
said: "She has no memory of the taxi ride."

I wonder what would have happened without the video?

Another advantage of CCTV for all cabs...

This is bad news and it just goes to show what can happen when you take up the offer of sex. It wouldn't surprise me if this guy loses his taxi license even though the girl instigated the act.

Can anyone just imagine the grief that driver would have gone through without the mobile phone evidence?

That said he was a bit of a pillock bonking her on the night. Get the phone number and ring them up later if need be, but never on the night.
