A woman who falsely claimed she had been groomed by an Asian sex trafficking gang has been jailed for eight and a half years.
Eleanor Williams wrote in a Facebook post - shared more than 100,000 times in May 2020 - saying she had been beaten, abused, and trafficked by Asian men. She also posted pictures of her injuries but she had actually caused them to herself, with a hammer.
The 22-year-old from Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, was sentenced at Preston Crown Court on Tuesday after making a series of false rape allegations.
