Jemma Beale, who was jailed over false sex attack claims, lost her appeal against her conviction and 10-year jail sentence today. Her lawyers told the Court of Appeal that the judge hadn't warned the jury about the 'myths and stereotypes' which swirl around false rape claim cases. Ms Jones argued the jury should have been told at the outset of the trial to disregard 'pre-conceived' ideas about rape. A retrial then took place in January 2012 in front of a fresh jury and he was jailed for seven years. Her appeal before Lady Justice Hallett, Mr Justice Warby and Sir John Royce continues.
