'Fake rape' woman fights to clear name

A woman sentenced to three years in prison after being convicted of faking her own rape has told Victoria Derbyshire she is now fighting to clear her name.
Layla Ibrahim, from Carlisle, was convicted of perverting the course of justice in 2010 and served 18 months of her sentence, giving birth in prison.
Now she says she has enough new information to prove her innocence.
The Crown Prosecution Service said prosecutions for such cases are rare.
