Elizabeth Jones, 22, admitted she lied about the latest rape allegation because she "did not like" the man she accused of attacking her, Southampton Crown Court was told.
Her latest victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested and questioned for nine hours before being released without charge.
After a judge jailed her for 16 months, it emerged today that she made her first complaint in 2004 aged just 13 before alleging other men had attacked her over the next nine years.
In 2009 she was given a ten month detention and training order for a similar offence.
Between 2005 and 2007 she had made eight other allegations, which police investigated, but she was never charged.

In the latest incident, Hampshire Police launched an investigation after Jones, from Southampton, Hants, urged an unidentified friend to report she had been assaulted.
She later went to the police station for a medical examination and repeated the false allegation.
Jennie Rickman, prosecuting, told the court that a man was arrested but he denied the rape allegation.
Detectives later viewed CCTV covering part of the house in which Jones claimed to have been attacked, which did not support her story as it showed she was not forcibly taken there.
"There is a history of her making false allegations of this nature and this is the 11th incident," she said.
"Police had to take her allegation seriously and carried out an appropriate investigation.
"She was later arrested and accepted she had lied about being raped - she said she did it because she did not like him."
Jones admitted one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Jailing her for 16 months, Judge Derwin Hope said her offences had caused a "terrible emotional experience" to her alledged attacker.
But he also said it struck at the heart of the criminal justice system.
Megan Topliss, defending, said her client had endured a disturbed childhood and had been left traumatised after being taken into care.
Jones immediately accepted she had lied when approached by the police and pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity, she added.

You live in a country where police don't take reports seriously, they live in a country where they take it too seriously and arrest you before they even have evidence. What is needed is a balance between the two where the accuser is given a proper investigation and the accused is given their due rights until a case is made against them.
