Overview
- Baker is due to appear at Liverpool & Knowsley Magistrates’ Court on 14 January.
- The charges stem from claims she made during an earlier investigation into alleged organised child sexual abuse by public figures.
- The CPS Special Crime Division said it is prosecuting because it believes the claims were false, maliciously made, and that a case is in the public interest.
- Prosecutors said they worked closely with Staffordshire Police throughout the inquiry.
- The CPS reminded the public that proceedings are active and warned against reporting or online sharing that could prejudice the defendant’s right to a fair trial.
