Sana Musharraf, 34, of Tottenham, a Law student and refugee from Pakistan, is jailed after she made a string of bogus allegations against her former boyfriend, Jason Whiston, for revenge when he refused to marry her and broke off their relationship.

Sana A Refugee from Pakistan Tells Boyfriend She Can’t Marry A Non-Muslim

The court heard Mr Whiston befriended Musharraf in 2013, and offered her a room at his Norbiton home the next year.

His long-term relationship with the mother of his children had broken down, and he and Musharraf started dating.

But after two-and-a-half years he broke it off when Musharraf, a refugee from Pakistan, said she could not marry a non-Muslim and he would not convert.

Musharraf targeted him and his new partner between July 2017 and February last year, turning up at their home and at his office.

Jailing her for two years and nine months yesterday, Recorder David Balcombe QC said Musharraf made the false ‘assault’ claim as part of a campaign “calculated to cause him as much harm as possible … motivated by anger at being rejected, jealousy, resentment, and a desire for revenge”.

He said he now suffers chronic anxiety and has lost his post as a guest lecturer at the London School of Economics. The judge put a restraining order on Musharraf, of Tottenham, to stop her contacting Mr Whiston’s family or making false claims.
