A US report yesterday said: “Behind the scenes, we’re told the case will go nowhere.” Nikita For resrest is facing jai l af ter fabricating the ststory, which resulted in a huge police investinvestigation. Forrest, 26, calledcalle the emergency services alleging she had beenbe attacked while walking home from her boyfriend’sboy house. But after days of questioning and a medical examination, ForrForrest confessed she had lied about her ordeal. She had even cutc up her clothes before police arrived to mmake it look as if she had been assaulted. Forrest, from SpSpringburn, Glasgow, pled guilty to wasting policep time by “temporarily depriving the publipublic of their services” between February 23 and 226, 2015. She faced a secosecond charge of falsely telling police on SeptemberSeptemb 30 last year that people were moving a deadde body and that she had been subject to maliciousma phone calls. Prosecutors acceptedacc a not guilty plea to that charge. Glasgow Sheriff CourtC heard that at around 2.55am on FebruaFebruary 23, 2015, a 999 call was made by Forrest claclaiming she had been raped at knifepoint 20 mminutes earlier in the city’s Maryhill Road. Detectives wentwe to her house to take a statement and saws her in her pyjamas and “distressed”, wwith red marks on her face and necklineneckli and several scratches along her tthroat. ProsecutorProsec Lindsay Docherty said: “SShe stated that the male had a kknife which he held to her throatthro and told her if she screamedscrea or cried for help he would slit her throat. “She stated the male had pushed her into a lane beside bushes and ‘ done it’ aand stated what she meant by this anand confirmed ‘I was raped’.” Forrest described her attacker as 6ft and blackbla with a Scottish accent. Officers were given the clothes she had been wearing, which Forrest claimed sshe had taken off because “she felt disgusted wearing them”. It was noticed that her top and pants were torn and her leggings had mud on them.
She was examined by a doctor who took swabs for analysis.
The area of the alleged rape was cordoned off for examination and a media appeal was issued asking the public for help, though no one was ever arrested.
CCTV and security cameras for the area were checked between February 23 and 26 to try to identify the alleged attacker.
But after extensive inquiries, including speaking to friends who Forrest claimed to have been with and interviewing the taxi driver who took her home, she was re-interviewed. Procurator f iscal Docher t y sa id: “The accused was asked to confirm her statements as being true. She
She became upset and admitted she had lied
became upset and freely admitted she had lied and made up the whole account.”
She told officers she was annoyed at her boyfriend and cut up her own clothing.
Defence lawyer Tracey Mulholland described her client’s actions as an “immature reaction” to an argument with her boyfriend. The couple have since split.
Sheriff Bill Totten deferred sentence until next month but warned Forrest she could be going to jail.
He told her: “It represents a serious abuse in which much police time and effort as well as effort by medical and forensic persons and indeed businesses looking at CCTV had to be devoted to your lies.
“In addition, when there’s a report of this kind of stranger rape allegation carried out by someone pulling a female into bushes or the like, that causes great concern and anxiety among public in the area.”
Sandy Brindley, from Rape Crisis Scotland, said: “What’s important to bear in mind is that these cases are extremely rare.”
