A WOMAN from Salisbury has appeared at Southampton Crown Court accused of making a false allegation of rape.

Gemma Mann, 24, is charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice by claiming her sister had been raped.

Mann, of St Clements Way, Bishopdown, who does not have a sister, had bail extended to January 29.

Police mounted a full-scale operation with volunteer search groups at the Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley last month.
