‘Devious’ woman blackmailed man with fake rape claim threat after consensual sex

A "devious and dishonest" woman who threatened to report a man for rape unless he paid her £5,000 after they had consensual sex has been jailed.

Tahereh Ghorbanlou, 34, matched with the bloke on a dating app in March 2021 before meeting at his home in Nottingham and having consensual sex after a few drinks.

Then Ghorbanlou made a strange remark, saying the man would have to pay for sex next time, Nottingham Crown Court heard. He dismissed it as a joke and they parted on "good terms".

However, over the following days she sent him messages trying to extort cash from him.

She claimed she was injured and in pain and he would be fined £30,000 if a sexual offence allegation was reported to police.

Ghorbanlou then sent him her bank details demanding he transferred £5,000 or she would go to police and accuse him of "sexual violence".

The victim immediately reported the threats to officers and an investigation into her fake rape scam was launched.

Ghorbanlou was arrested and told officers she was the victim of sexual violence – but refused to provide any written statement or sign the comments she had made.

After being bailed, she contacted police again on March 20, 2021, to make a counter-allegation of rape against the man.

Nottinghamshire Police said detectives carried out investigations into both allegations but found no evidence Ghorbanlou was the victim of any sexual offence.

And mobile phone records also revealed the attempts Ghorbanlou had made to blackmail the man.

She had searched the internet and Googled "sexual violence price" and "sexual violence definition" the day after the alleged rape.

Ghorbanlou, of Upper Lighthorne, Warks., made no comment in police interviews but eventually pleaded guilty to blackmail more than two years later in May.

She was jailed for two years and three months at Nottingham Crown Court after sentencing last Wednesday, September 6.

Detective Inspector Chris Berryman, of Nottinghamshire Police, said after sentencing: “She has made devious and dishonest threats in an attempt to extort cash from the victim and then made a completely false allegation of rape against him."
