26岁英国女性伊莎贝尔·罗斯因在香港提出虚假强奸指控并随后对被控对象进行勒索，被香港地区法院判处6年监禁 [1]。
罗斯于2024年1月赴港访问一名英国银行家，声称抵达仅12小时后遭其强奸 [1]。随后她要求对方支付赔偿金，金额从5000英镑逐步上升至10万英镑 [1]。香港地区法院法官特谢琴·艾德丽娜·诺埃尔在一份300页的判决书中认定该指控完全捏造，接受了银行家的说法并驳回了罗斯的证词 [1]。法医检测未能确定强奸事实 [1]。
法官在判决中表示罗斯的行为"邪恶"和"恶毒"，指出她"完全没有表现出任何悔意" [1]。罗斯被判犯勒索罪和妨碍司法公正罪 [1]。在保释期间等待审判的近2年时间里，罗斯被禁止离开香港，其家属为应诉花费了数万英镑 [1]。伦敦警察厅曾受理该案件并指定侦探调查，但最终因管辖权问题无法继续进行 [1]。
A 26-year-old British woman, Isabel Rose, has been jailed for six years in Hong Kong after being convicted of making false rape allegations and attempting extortion. [1]
Rose traveled to Hong Kong in January 2024 to visit a British banker, claiming she was raped within 12 hours of her arrival. [1] She subsequently demanded compensation ranging from 5,000 to 100,000 British pounds from the accused man. [1]
District Court Judge Adriana Noelle Tse Ching found the allegations entirely fabricated and convicted Rose of extortion and perverting the course of justice. [1] Forensic examination failed to substantiate any sexual assault. [1] In a 300-page judgment, the judge accepted the banker's account while rejecting Rose's testimony. [1]
Throughout the legal process, Rose remained prohibited from leaving Hong Kong for nearly two years while on bail, during which her family spent tens of thousands of pounds on legal representation. [1]
The judge characterized Rose's conduct as "evil" and "malicious," noting that she "demonstrated absolutely no remorse whatsoever." [1]
The case was referred to the Metropolitan Police in London, and a detective was assigned to investigate; however, the inquiry could not proceed due to jurisdictional constraints. [1]
