A 16-year-old Beijing girl accused her stepfather of rape before admitting to a five-year "love affair" with him until he brought home another woman.

She recently phoned the cops crying her stepfather had raped her, but days later, broke down in court confessing she had lied and was only seeking revenge after the man started seeing another woman.

She begged the court for leniency toward the man.

The girl said she got physically involved with her stepfather out of her own will after her mother broke up with him.

A public prosecutor said the man still faces jail time for having sex with a minor.
