Sex-traffic liar jailed for false claims didn't make it all up, claims her dad

Eleanor Williams, 22, was jailed for eight-and-a-half years this week after spinning a disturbing web of falsehoods that drove three men to try and take their own lives and sparked unprecedented protests in her hometown of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.
