Biurny Peguero, Fake Rape Victim, Gets Up To 3 Years For Sending Innocent Man To Prison

NEW YORK — A woman who fabricated a gang rape accusation was sentenced Tuesday to up to three years behind bars herself, saying she was riven with remorse for sending an innocent man to prison.

Biurny Peguero, 27, pleaded guilty in December to perjury, admitting she made up the September 2005 incident that unjustly put construction worker William McCaffrey in jail and prison for nearly four years. A judge overturned his rape conviction in December, with new DNA evidence also playing a role.

"I question myself every day as to how I could have done this," Peguero told a Manhattan state court judge.

Peguero originally said McCaffrey was the ringleader among three men who raped her at knifepoint after luring her into their car. She met them after a night out at a Manhattan nightclub with female friends.

For this one, you'll need the industrial size tub.

3. Such an unspeakable tragedy on every level . . .
at a minimum, the Prosecutor and Staff who put this man away on such flimsy evidence should do hard labor for at least as long as it takes McCaffrey to expunge the nightmares from his dreams. Then they can begin to serve hard time to atone for their miserable performances.
