Man’s Terror Over False Rape Claims

A WOMAN terrorised a man she falsely claimed had raped her after a one-night stand five years earlier.
Debbie Oldham, 27, went to the man's flat in Glasgow's West End with three masked men and her rottweiler dog.
Oldham demanded cash, and the 25-year-old victim was threatened, assaulted and had possessions stolen and trashed.
The man's one-hour ordeal only ended when he was forced to make a false confession of rape.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday, Oldham was ordered to perform 240 hours' community work.
But Sheriff Ian Peebles QC warned her if she failed to carry out the work she could be jailed.
She earlier admitted the extortion bid, which was said to have ruined the man's life and given him recurring nightmares.
Oldham, of Buccleuch Street, Cowcaddens, and the man went the same school. In 2000, they bumped into each other in a nightclub and later had "a brief sexual encounter" but did not stay in contact.
In late 2005, Oldham discovered where he was living in Glasgow.
Joe Stewart, prosecuting, said a series of phone calls were made on October 10, accusing the man of rape five years earlier.
The next day Oldham appeared at his door with her rottweiler before three men in balaclavas barged in.
Mr Stewart said: "Oldham and two of the masked people shouted and swore at the man, calling him a rapist.
"He was threatened and pushed around the room, Oldham slapped him on the face and one of the others punched him."
The gang made the hysterical victim confess to raping Oldham.
He was robbed of clothes, audio and computer equipment and Oldham trashed expensive DJ decks and speakers.
Before fleeing, Oldham said she would be back to get money and could get £18,000 compensation for the alleged rape.
Oldham told police she was raped by the man in 2000 - but prosecutors did not proceed with the case.
She was later quizzed by police about the raid on the man's flat and admitted being there.
