POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — A 26-year-old transgender woman has been sentenced to seven and a half years in prison after repeatedly fabricating rape allegations against multiple men over a seven-year period.

Khloe Simmonds was convicted on eight counts of perverting the course of justice following false claims of sexual assault made between 2018 and 2026.

The false reports led to several innocent men being arrested, including one individual detained for 88 days and a taxi driver whose alibi was confirmed through vehicle data.

Court proceedings revealed that Simmonds consumed hundreds of hours of police resources while falsely portraying herself as a victim of serious sexual crimes.

The allegations targeted six men in total, with authorities ultimately clearing all accused individuals after investigations uncovered inconsistencies in Simmonds’ accounts.
