A WARRNAMBOOL woman has won a five-year battle to clear her name after being wrongfully convicted of making a false report to police.Belinda Howe, 36, made a report to police in 2003 alleging a former partner had committed sex offences.Police charged Ms Howe with making a false report to police and she appeared in the Warrnambool County Court during 2004.A judge questioned the state of Ms Howe's mental health before she was given a three-month jail sentence, suspended for two years.However, earlier this year her ex-partner was found guilty of sex offences and jailed for three years and five months. He will have to serve a minimum of two years in prison.Last week Ms Howe appeared in the Melbourne County Court where the charge of making a false report to police was overturned.Ms Howe said her family had been under enormous pressure during the past five years."I would like to thank Detective Sergeant Lee Porter of the Warrnambool police for his ongoing help and support - he's been outstanding," she said."I wouldn't want anyone else to go through anything like this, even my worst enemy."Ms Howe said she hoped to move on with life and put the events of the past five years behind her. "To be finally cleared has taken a huge weight off my shoulders," she said.
