WOMAN WHO Falsely Accused Teenager Of Rape Will Spend One Night In Jail. Mother Speaks Out
The Warwick pastor who falsely accused a teenage boy of raping his teenage girlfriend spent one night in jail. The Daily Wire previously reported that Kelly Shannon, 48, would reportedly get no jail time after she falsely accused the boy and was charged possessing child pornography and allegedly grooming a young girl for sex. Shannon was officially sentenced recently and was forced to spend a single night in jail. Shannon admitted in court to “two counts of filing false police reports and one count of using a computer for fraudulent purposes under a plea deal.”
Christy Gilroy, the mother of the teenage boy whom Shannon falsely accused, said that her son probably would have been considered a sex offender if Shannon hadn’t admitted to her crimes. “I didn’t even know if this day was ever going to come, because the truth is, they chased my son. They chased him right from day one. They believed immediately he was guilty. Whereas [Shannon] sat five years on bail, and finally, six years later, we’re having our day in court.”
“I believe if she never came clean, my son’s name would have never been cleared,” Gilroy added. “There was never a sexual assault. It was all made up because I put a restraining order on Kelly Shannon.” Shannon had been helping Gilroy’s son and his girlfriend with homework. She eventually performed a fake marriage ceremony for the teens, who were 14 at the time. Gilroy found out and took away her son’s phone as punishment. Shannon bought him a new one, which Gilroy also found. Gilroy then took out a restraining order against Shannon.
