I don't see any reason for her to lie about who sexually assaulted her. Why did she?

I personally think it was consensual. I think it was all BS when she said her eyes were shut the whole time. As soon as Briony went up to her, she apologized as if she was sorry that she did that with Paul Marshall. She went along with it being Robbie to protect Marshall. Plus the way she looked at Briony after she got married shows her as guilty of knowing.
