'Cold-blooded liar' who cried rape twice must pay her victims £700,000... but she STILL can't be named
A woman who falsely accused two men of rape while retaining her anonymity has been ordered to pay them nearly £700,000 in compensation, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The 48-year-old married mother of two is facing bankruptcy after a judge branded her a cold-blooded liar who ruined lives with a string of fabricated allegations.
In a landmark High Court ruling, the woman, who still cannot be named, was ordered to pay £615,711 damages to Raman Kumar, and a further £58,000 to Baldev Singh for "falsely and maliciously" accusing them of rape.
In a withering attack on her deceit, Deputy High Court Judge McKenna said it was likely the woman had made the allegations to prevent her family discovering she was having an affair.
But last night, both men said it is outrageous that their accuser is still allowed to escape being named. Mr Kumar, 46, who spent 16 months in jail before his conviction was quashed, said: "We have had ten years of hell, with our names dragged through the mud. It is grossly unfair that after a judge has found her to be a liar, she can still keep her anonymity."
