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.

Timsomor's Thoughts:
Still if you look at it, she will still get away with it all. Because she has all kinds of Avenues to keep from paying this. This is why most people don't hesitate to do physical things to people. They pretty much know that the system is a joke or once someone believes you it's pretty much too late. I hope someone makes a movie out of this and puts this type of woman on blast and spot light.
Really, this is a story that needs to be told.
