A woman has been jailed after she falsely accused her ex-boyfriend of raping her.

Melinda Denham, 25, from Ohio, accused Shannon Hudson of raping her at her father's home after they had broken up and did not own up to the crime until he had spent two months in jail.

On Wednesday, a judge ordered she spend six months in prison, a rarity on a conviction for Ohio's lowest level felony, which usually results in probation.

According to Cincinatti.com, Denham told police that she was sleeping at her father's Blue Ash home in August when her former boyfriend came into the bedroom and raped her.

She later wrote a letter to the judge presiding over Hudson’s rape case stating the sex was consensual, that she had not been raped and would not testify against Hudson.

She also said that she loved him and wanted to be with him.

Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Steve Martin told Denham when he was sentencing her: 'What you did in this case is, you caused a man to be incarcerated and he had done nothing and the worst part about that was you knew from the very start that he had done nothing. It was terrible beyond any words.
'He’s now got a rape allegation against him that is completely unfounded, completely untrue, but other people are still going to think ill of him because of that.'
Hudson could have faced up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

According to Cincinatti.com, Denham is now six months pregnant though has said that Hudson is not the father.

Prosecutors charged Denham with making false alarms and perjury for swearing to tell the truth before the grand jury and then lying.

In a plea deal, Denham pleaded guilty to making false alarms in exchange for prosecutors dropping the more serious perjury charge.

Her attorney Roxann Dieffenbach told the judge: 'I think it’s kind of obvious that Ms Denham is not the most sophisticated young woman.'
Denham's sister Lahoma defended her publicly on Facebook, telling people that her sister was innocent and did not deserve to be behind bars claiming: 'I know what really happened that night.'
She posted: 'My sister did not deserve the punishment she received. I wish I could tell the truth.
'But she was brainwashed and offered no counselling, she felt like she couldn't continue. Please pray for her.'
