Vengeful: Capon had earlier accused Mr Tysoe of kissing another woman
A woman who auditioned for the X Factor has walked free from court after crying rape against her former fiance.

Gemma Capon invented the allegation after she and Graham Tysoe's turbulent six-month relationship came to an end.

The 20-year-old, who has twice auditioned for the hit ITV show, told detectives he forced his way into their home and attacked her on the living room sofa.

Mr Tysoe, also 20, was arrested in front of colleagues at the pub where he works as a chef and held for almost 24 hours.

He was interviewed, had his DNA, fingerprints and mugshot taken and was subjected to intrusive forensic examinations.

When police confronted Capon with discrepancies in her story a day later she confessed that she had made it all up and was charged with wasting police time.

District Judge Tim Daber said her behaviour had undermined the 'credibility' of genuine complaints.

Yet, instead of a six-month maximum jail term, Capon was given a 12-week suspended sentence and ordered to pay £95 costs.

Mr Tysoe's mother, Sharon, a 42-year-old staff nurse, said:'I'm livid. She should never have got away with it.

'It was vicious and vindictive and the sentence has made a mockery of the justice system. It sends the message that false accusers can get away with it.'

she should have got the same sentence HE would have got. She needs life really, she should be locked away from decent people for ever.

True. Here in Tennessee the police have been trained to take a woman's word as absolute truth. Because of the sexist crime bill known as VAWA (violence against women act), it is possible for any woman to have any man imprisoned based on her word alone. Whenever the police get a call concerning domestic violence/abuse, it is normal for them to arrest the man (even if he is the victim) and put him in jail. It is normal for prosecutors to seek a conviction for each allegation made against him. If a woman claims to be the victim of rape and/or assault, she can tell outright lies and nobody will call her on them. VAWA has empowered women here to have men arrested and imprisoned at will.

Whenever a woman is PROVEN to have committed a crime, she will have an easier and shorter sentence than that a man is given. Double standards abound here.
