Former Royal Australian Navy Able Seaman Warren Clark, 28, pleaded guilty in  Darwin Magistrates Court to possessing 0.2g of cannabis and a taser.
He  escaped conviction and was fined $300.
But his lawyer Robert Welfare told  magistrate Michael Carey police only found the weapon and drugs because of a  search warrant that was executed in relation to an allegation of  rape.
“(His ex-girlfriend) put make-up on her eye and went to police and  told them she had been raped and bashed,” he said.
“Police found this was  a complete fabrication.”
Mr Carey was arrested for serious sexual  offences on the naval base and put in a paddy wagon in front of his  colleagues.

“She alleged I sexually assaulted her, that I held her  against her will and that I had a wad of cash and weapons.”
Mr Clark,  whose family has been in the navy for four generations, said it was “unjust”  that he had to face criminal charges because of a search warrant that was  executed on a false statement.
Mr Welfare told the court the cannabis was  for personal use and the taser was given to his client as a prank.
