Summary of Case:	"Kevin Neil Ibbs was wrongly convicted of a rape that the complainant testified occurred in 1986 in Western Australia. On October 4, 2000 Kevin Ibbs filed a notice of appeal with the Western Australia Court of Criminal Appeal that set forth as Ground 1: "1. Subsequent to the conviction of the applicant of this offence, the complainant Christine Elizabeth Watson also known at the time as Christine Elizabeth Wardle and Katrina Ann Carter also known at the time as Katrina Ann Ibbs were convicted on their own pleas of guilty by the District Court at Perth on 14 February 1997 of conspiring with each other on a date unknown between 1st day of November 1986 and the 30th day of November 1986 to pervert the course of justice upon Kevin Neil Ibbs by agreeing that Christine Elizabeth Watson would make false complaint to the police that she had been sexually assaulted by Kevin Neil Ibbs in order to have Kevin Neil Ibbs charged with the offence of sexual assault, which evidence, had it been available at the time of the Applicant's trial to be placed before the Jury, would most likely have resulted in a verdict of 'not guilty' thus rendering the conviction unsafe occasioning a miscarriage of justice." On April 24, 2001 Ibbs' rape conviction was quashed and a verdict and judgment of acquittal was entered by the Court of Appeal based on the new evidence that the rape complainant and witness at trial were convicted of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. [Ibbs v The Queen [2001] WASCA 129 (22 March 2001)]"
