Remember Brian Banks, the high school football star who was falsely accused of rape and ended up spending over 5 years in prison because of it. Well, not only has Banks been signed to the Atlanta Falcons but now his shady false accuser has to pay for the money she was given from the school district and the time she wasted on lying about the whole situation. I say payback is a b*tch.
A judge has ordered that Wanetta Gibson pay $2.6 million to Banks for ruining his life with false allegations. The lies caused him to lose numerous scholarship offers to college and also led to a prison sentence of over five years.
After the conviction, the girl sued the school district and received $1.5 million. The conviction was overturned when Gibson was secretly recorded admitting that she made the whole thing up.
Years later, Gibson confessed and Banks was released. The woman is being forced to repay a $750,000 settlement to the school, plus attorneys fees, interest and another $1 million in punitive damages.
Not sure where she’s going to get the money but I heard UPS is hiring.
