A 21-year-old woman who admitted making a false allegation of rape was warned she faced jail.

Oxford Crown Court heard Amanda Lang, formerly of Carterton but now of Withy Grove Crescent, Bamber Bridge, Preston, had tried to pervert the course of justice by wrongly accusing Phillip Trowell of rape between November 2006 and February 2007.

Judge Julian Hall told her: "It is not just past the custody threshold - this sort of offence cannot be treated in any other way. You must prepare to be going to prison."

Lang was given bail and told to return to court for sentencing on Monday, March 31.
