anonymous on 14 Jun 13A WOMAN who sparked a major investigation after claiming she was raped as she walked home from a night out has been spared prison. Kirstie Hodgson was told by a Teesside Crown Court judge he would neither punish nor penalise her after hearing of her fragile mental state. The costly police probe was launched after Hodgson claimed she had been raped in Middlesbrough in the early hours of October 19, last year. She said the attacker told her he had a knife and stole her mobile telephone, and went on to point out the location of the alleged incident.
