A British woman has been sentenced to six years in prison over a \u00a3100,000 rape-claim blackmail case.<\/p>\n
Isabel Rose was found guilty after a six-day-long trial where she was convicted of blackmail and perverting the course of public justice.<\/p>\n
A judge stated that it was ‘crystal clear’ that the 26-year-old had demanded \u00a3100,000 from the man she accused of rape.<\/p>\n
The woman’s lawyer’s pleas for leniency based on her clean criminal record and status as a foreigner in Hong Kong were rejected by the judge.<\/p>\n
Isabel, from Hackney, East London, was sentenced to six years in prison today (July 22), as reported by NeedToKnow.<\/p>\n
The sentence was given at the District Court in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

For the last two years before her trial, the Brit was unable to work or leave Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
After the trial, she was sent to Tai Lam Correctional Institution \u2013 Hong Kong’s oldest maximum security women’s prison.<\/p>\n
She made the report back in 2024, claiming she was raped by a man in his Mid-Levels apartment during the early hours of 1 Feb that year.<\/p>\n
The authorities arrested the man, who was referred to as X in the case, on suspicion of rape.<\/p>\n
Two days later, Isabel was arrested on suspicion of blackmail, and she was subsequently charged with demanding a payment of \u00a3100,000 (HK$1.05 million) from the man.<\/p>\n
During her trial in March, she was charged with perverting the course of justice, with the prosecution stating that she had filed a false rape report.<\/p>\n

The man was never charged.<\/p>\n
The judge described X as an ‘honest, credible and reliable witness’, whilst the Brit was labelled ‘dishonest, uncredible and unreliable’ as reported by Hong Kong Free Press.<\/p>\n
District Court Judge Adriana Tse handed down a starting sentence of five years for blackmail and three years for perverting justice.<\/p>\n
One year is to be served consecutively, resulting in a total of six years in prison.<\/p>\n
