A 19-year-old woman has been cautioned for wasting police time after making a false sexual assault claim.

The recreation ground in Boundary Road, Ramsgate, was cordoned off on Friday while officers investigated.

The woman reported she had been attacked by a man at the park at around 2am.

She was formally cautioned for wasting police time last night.

Kent Police thanked the public for their help following the initial appeal for information.
