Rape charge made up

A woman who fabricated a gang rape accusation was sentenced in New York to up to three years' jail, said she was riven with remorse for sending an innocent man to prison for nearly four years.

Biurny Peguero, 27, pleaded guilty in December to perjury, admitting she made up the September 2005 incident that unjustly put construction worker William McCaffrey in jail and prison for nearly four years.
