A businessman has told of his hell after being falsely accused of being the leader of a grooming gang which drugged and raped young girls. Mohammed Ramzan was investigated by the police and received death threats in the wake of Eleanor Williams' fictitious claims.
Her false allegations spawned a 'Justice For Ellie' campaign and the far right tried to capitalise on the existence of the supposed Asian grooming gang. But after 22-year-old Williams' lies were finally exposed, and she was convicted of perverting the course of justice, Mr Ramzan has told Lancs Live of the nightmare he endured.
Mr Ramzan, also known as Mo Rammy, is a successful businessman who owns several restaurants, ice cream vans and rental properties in Barrow. He had set up a dessert truck which attracted custom from Just Eat and his own app, and business was 'booming'.
