A JURY failed today to reach a verdict in the trial of a South Cerney woman accused of making a false rape allegation.
After a retirement of more than a day at the end of a three day trial the Gloucester crown court jury could not reach agreement and was discharged.
The judge, Recorder Llewellyn Sellick, gave the prosecution seven days to decide whether they wished to seek a retrial of Tracy Knowles, 20, of Beverstone Road, South Cerney.
She had denied doing an act tending or intending to pervert the course of justice by making a false allegation of rape against Alexander Warren between June 15 and 18 last year.
