The Man Who Cried "Wombat"


Metro.co.uk reports that a New Zealander who said he was raped by a wombat now admits to having lied. The wombat was not availble for comment by deadline for the report.
A man who told police he had been raped by a wombat has, perhaps not surprisingly, failed to substantiate his claim in court.

In fact, Arthur Ross Cradock has ended up in the dock himself and been ordered to do 75 hours' community work for wasting police time.

Not only did he make up the wombat rape story, but the New Zealander also insisted the trauma of the attack had left him "speaking Australian".
