A former high school football star whose dreams of a pro career were shattered by a rape conviction burst into tears Thursday as a judge threw out the charge that sent him to prison for more than five years.
Brian Banks, now 26, pleaded no contest 10 years ago on the advice of his lawyer after a childhood friend falsely accused him of attacking her on their high school campus.
In a strange turn of events, the woman, Wanetta Gibson, friended him on Facebook when he got out of prison.
During an initial meeting with him, she said she had lied; there had been no kidnap and no rape and she offered to help him clear his record, court records state.
But she refused to repeat the story to prosecutors because she feared she would have to return a $1.5 million payment from a civil suit brought by her mother against Long Beach schools.
During a second meeting that was secretly videotaped, she told Banks, "'I will go through with helping you, but it's like at the same time all that money they gave us, I mean gave me, I don't want to have to pay it back,'" according to Freddie Parish, a defense investigator who was at the meeting.

oh wow, that deserves to be put to death
Yeah, I think she can now kiss that money goodbye.
Maybe do some time of her own for perjury
was the guy really good enough to go to the nfl? if so, no amount of anything can ever make that right. that's just not fair.
How about adding extortion, grand theft?
women are cold. blooded.
all the women on this board should be ashamed of themselves.
He still has college eligibility left.
Wow, that guy wasted 5 years of his life serving a sentence that he was never meant to carry out in the first place. How is he even going to start up in life again without hearing about the daily stereotypes and dealing with the bias that people are going to demonstrate against him?
All of this hassle from a lying .
How can men and women be equal when women do like this? They about equality and equal pay yet do evil like this. This should have to serve 5 years in prison just like the guy she wrongly put in prison in the first place.
+ the guy should be compensated for wrongful imprisonment.
I would like to agree, but he pleased no contest according to the quoted story.
Wow, that .
No offense to any women reading this but a lot of them have the capacity to do something serious like this. When it comes to money or fame, bam, they act swiftly to snatch whatever they can of it.
This story is ing sickening.
This isn't about "women" it's about a woman.
She deserves twice the jail time, but as seen here--http://news.ninemsn.com.au/smartphone/article.aspx?id=8446418--liars aren't dealt with much.
He should sue her, the state, and his lawyer for malpractice.
She should be charged with perjury, obstruction of justice, etc.
Hopefully they both can heal from this unfortunate event. God bless
"Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."
What would she need to heal from? The $1.5 million she got from the ordeal?
And God did a great job looking after him so far.
^Don't take jack sommerset's shtick seriously, I still don't understand it. God bless.
He's been ripping off BR for some time now. He's the only one who thinks it's funny.
This. He's a poor man's BR. He's also a Rocket fan.
Double whammy.
He's not trying to rip off BR. His god shtick is related has some political forum agenda.
LOL, I was just about to post this. He probably suffered from some kind of Political Forum-related psychosis after so many bad takes.
