The Sarah Jane Parkinson case, involving Canberra resident Sarah Jane White (née Parkinson), was a 2014 legal situation in which an innocent party, Daniel Jones, was falsely accused of rape and acts of domestic abuse by Parkinson, his former fiancé, who had since grown bored with him while dating police officer Scott John White. Jones was arrested and jailed in 2014, while Parkinson and White lived in his house and eventually married. Owing to mounting evidence establishing Jones's innocence, Jones was released, and Parkinson was convicted for her false accusations. She served two years out of a three-year sentence, after which she legally changed her surname to White upon release.
