Wanetta Gibson

Wanetta Gibson is an American woman who was highschool classmate of Brian Banks. In 2002 she falsely accused Mr Banks of kidnapping and raping her in 2002.

In March 2011, Gibson contacted Mr Banks on Facebook, met with him, and admitted in the presence of a private investigator Banks had hired that she had fabricated the story. Banks secretly recorded Gibson's confession, but she later (according to Banks and his private investigator) refused to tell prosecutors that she had lied so that she wouldn’t have to return the money she and her family had won in court. It is unclear why she made the initial false accusation.

In 2013, the Long Beach Unified School District won a $2.6 million judgment against Gibson, recouping $750,000 in payments paid to her along with attorney's fees, interest, and $1 million in punitive damages. Gibson failed to appear in court.
