Woman Who Falsely Accused Brian Banks of Rape Ordered to Pay $2.6M

Lets see, what would happen if every lawmaker (or other person/s) who makes FALSE claims about folks on the registry, were sued? Even the police..such an act (words out of their mouths) by the police is known as a ultra vires act... would is be possible to turn the tide?
6-17-2013 California:

A woman whose false claim of rape sent former prep football star Brian Banks to prison was ordered to pay a $2.6 million judgment in connection with the case.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Friday ordered Wanetta Gibson to pay a $1.5 million, plus an additional $1.1 million in fees, including for making a false claim and court-related costs, the Long Beach Press Telegram reported.

Gibson was a former high-school acquaintance of Banks in 2002 when she accused him of raping her at Long Beach Polytechnic High School, according to the California Innocence Project, an organization that helped exonerate Banks.

Gibson sued the Long Beach Unified School District claiming the school was not safe and won a $1.5 million settlement.

Gibson ultimately admitted she made up the story and a judge reversed Banks' conviction on May 24, 2012.

Banks signed this year to play with the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. ..Source.. by Community of the Wrongly Accused
