Cry-Rape Girl Jailed For Falsely Accusing Dad

A 21 year-old woman, who falsely cried rape against her father - sticking to her story for six months - has been jailed for a year.

Jobless Emma Marrill, of Horseshoe Crescent, Old Dean, Camberley, Surrey even accused a man of sexual assault at her bail hostel after being charged with the offence against her father.

She pleaded guilty at Guildford Crown Court (pictured) to perverting the course of justice on June 17, 2009 by making the false rape allegation against Mr. Phillip Marrill.

"Your father had a degrading experience, which impacted his state of mind, work and travel," Judge Neil Stewart told pony-tailed Marrill.

"Much to his credit he has tried to reconcile himself to you......He is here today and obviously loves you."

Prosecutor Miss Wendy Cottee told the court Mr. Marrill was arrested at the family home in Staines on June 18, 2009 and held for 22 hours while giving intimate body samples and his clothing to police.

The defendant was also examined and stuck to her story even claiming during a second interview on June 29 there had been repeated rapes.

"She said this was not the first time her father had raped her and there were several incidents since she was fifteen years-old."

By July 26 Marrill was increasingly vague with police, claiming she wanted to drop the case and in December, 2009 and January, last year she refused to talk with investigating officers.

She was eventually quizzed under caution and admitted her tissue of lies.

"She confirmed the allegation against her father was untrue, she said she was depressed at the time. She told her boyfriend her father had raped her, he called the police and she did not know how to get out of the situation."

Her father confirmed he was "shocked" at being arrested and his family home searched and was left "tired and confused" by the ordeal.

"Social services told his other daughter not to leave him alone with her children," added Miss Cottee. "He was terrified about losing his job and career."

Seventy-six hours of police time involving thirty-three officers was wasted and the forensic bill was £1,850.

"You are responsible for your actions," Judge Stewart told Marrill. "You had many occasions to correct what you had done, but for six months you persisted in that lie."
