Actress Uche Jombo has said that those who falsely accuse people of rape should face the same punishment as rapists.
The 43-year-old said this in reaction to the acquittal of ex-Manchester City player Benjamin Mendy who was accused of raping a woman and attempting to rape another.
Mendy was on Friday found not guilty by the jury of six men and six women.
Taking to her Twitter handle, Uche insisted that false accusers should also attract the same jail term as rapists.
She wrote, “False rape accusations should attract same jail term as rape.”

Mendy, who was on Friday cleared of the rape allegations by a jury at Chester Crown Court, broke down in the dock afterwards before saying he was ‘delighted’ with the not guilty verdict.
The France international was all smiles later in the day when he spoke with countryman Paul Pogba on FaceTime.
