A woman who threatened to report a man for rape unless he paid her \u00a35,000 after they had consensual sex has been jailed for more than two years.<\/p>\n
Tahereh Ghorbanlou, 34, blackmailed her victim after meeting him through an online dating app in March 2021,\u00a0Nottingham Crown Court heard.<\/p>\n
A court heard they began chatting with each other before arranging to meet at the victim’s house in Nottingham on March 12 that year.<\/p>\n
Ghorbanlou, of Upper Lighthorne, Warwickshire, and the victim had a drink together before having consensual sex and afterwards Ghorbanlou made a remark he would have to pay for sex next time.<\/p>\n
The victim dismissed this as a joke and they parted on ‘good terms’ but over the following days she sent him messages trying to extort cash from him.<\/p>\n

Tahereh Ghorbanlou (pictured), 34, who threatened to report a man for rape unless he paid her \u00a35,000 after they had consensual sex has been jailed for more than two years<\/p>\n
Ghorbanlou claimed she was injured and in pain and he would be fined \u00a330,000 if a sexual offence allegation was reported to police.<\/p>\n
Ghorbanlou then sent him her bank details demanding he transferred \u00a35,000 or she would go to police and accuse him of ‘sexual violence’.<\/p>\n
The victim immediately reported the threats to officers and an investigation into her fake rape scam was launched.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
After being bailed, she contacted police again on March 20, 2021, to make a counter-allegation of rape against the man.<\/p>\n
Nottinghamshire Police said detectives carried out investigations into both allegations but found no evidence Ghorbanlou was the victim of any sexual offence.<\/p>\n
And mobile phone records also revealed the attempts Ghorbanlou had made to blackmail the man.<\/p>\n
She had searched the internet and Googled ‘sexual violence price’ and ‘sexual violence definition’ the day after the alleged rape.<\/p>\n
Ghorbanlou made no comment in police interviews but eventually pleaded guilty to blackmail more than two years later in May.<\/p>\n
She was jailed for two years and three months at Nottingham Crown Court for sentencing last Wednesday, September 6.<\/p>\n

Ghorbanlou, of Upper Lighthorne, Warwickshire, blackmailed her victim after meeting him through an online dating app in March 2021, Nottingham Crown Court (pictured) heard<\/p>\n
Detective Inspector Chris Berryman, of Nottinghamshire Police, said afterwards: ‘The victim in this case did absolutely the right thing in reporting Ghorbanlou’s demands to us.<\/p>\n
‘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.<\/p>\n
‘I am pleased her callous behaviour has been exposed by our investigation and a judge has seen fit to put her behind bars.<\/p>\n
‘I also hope this case shows Nottinghamshire Police takes blackmail and extortion offences very seriously and is there to help anyone who finds themselves being threatened like this.<\/p>\n
‘The victim has been wrongly accused of a very serious offence and then put through a two-year ordeal and court proceedings.<\/p>\n
‘The prison sentence handed down to Ghorbanlou will hopefully allow him to move on with his life.’<\/p>\n
