North Devon Sector Inspector Roger Bartlett said he was very disappointed with the whole incident.
He said: “This was a huge waste of police time and resources.
“We need to be focusing our efforts on dealing with real victims of crime and this distracts us from doing that.
“It also undermines that person as a credible witness in the future.”

“Name? Surely someone who does this should be named and shamed for public protection/information. Who knows - it may be a life-ruining false rape claim next time.”
