A Winnipeg woman was sentenced to house arrest after a single date with a man she met online culminated in her harassing him for years and spurred false allegations that resulted in the innocent man being arrested three times.
According to court documents, Jennifer Plantz, 34, pleaded guilty to criminal harassment and assault for 22 false police complaints after she claimed a man whom she had met through the dating app, Tinder, had stalked and sexually assaulted her.
“This innocent person was put through hell,” said Provincial Court Judge Raymond Wyant at the sentencing hearing on Monday.
Plantz was handed a 15-month conditional sentence under house arrest, followed by three years of unsupervised probation and no contact or communication with the victim.
“The behaviour you exhibited toward this gentleman is beyond the pale, it is almost unspeakable … this was a living nightmare for this man,” said Wyant.
“I cannot imagine how awful, how terrified, and how upended his life has been since you entered his life and became involved in these actions.”
Plantz and this man’s only date was in 2016 after the two met on Tinder.
