Woman to avoid jail for false domestic violence allegations

A woman who made numerous false allegations of domestic violence against her boyfriend has pleaded guilty to five perjury charges.

21-year-old Makaela Bacon contacted police throughout 2020 which resulted in Bryce Cadby, who only has the use of half of his body, being arrested twice.

She claimed that he sexually assaulted her, attacked her with a weapon and threatened to kill her.

The case has been adjourned to 13 September for a pre-sentence report to determine her suitability for a Community Corrections Order, which she can serve in the community.
