Plotting ex-wife gets 7-14 years in jail
Kristin Ruggiero will spend 7 to 14 years in state prison for what police say was part of a years-long ploy to use the criminal justice system against her ex-husband, who was thrown in jail and nearly lost his career during a bitter divorce.
Judge Kenneth McHugh said Ruggiero’s attempt to set up her ex-husband and use the legal system as a weapon was unlike any other case he has seen.

NZ teacher Peter Joyce’s settled life was disrupted when a woman he had never met accused him of historic rape. With a unique brand of angry humour, his diary plots the stages of his despair and traces his attempts to find justice in the face of the current insistence that we must “believe the victim”.
Dry Ice is a compelling memoir, but much more. The accusation made the writer a reluctant expert on similar cases from all over the world. He throws light on everything that limits public knowledge of false sexual allegations, from dangerous counselling to flawed statistics, and he exposes police investigation methods as blinkered, inefficient and insensitive.

serious question here
can we do something like this in NZ?
can we file a case in a criminal court for someone commiting perjury in the family caught?

What this woman has done is nothing different from what women’s refuge is doing here in assisting women in the Family Court. The difference is just that the lies are cynically engineered to be close to the truth. And they have a lawyer, psychologists, counselors and many others to do the engineering.
