A woman who invented claims she had been trafficked, raped and beaten by an Asian grooming gang in a remote town on the edge of the Lake District, is facing jail after police described how her lies had caused uproar in the community and had forced families to flee their homes.
Eleanor Williams used a hammer to injure herself before telling police she had been sexually abused since childhood by a group of Asian men in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.
The 22-year-old posted fake accounts of her ordeal on social media which went viral, sparking demonstrations in the town by far-Right protesters, including Tommy Robinson, the former leader of the English Defence League.
That people do lie is something we need to keep in mind. That, even, some people will lie about having been raped is also something to keep in mind. That’s why a rape “takes place” when someone is convicted of it happening, not when someone makes the claim that it did.
But much, much, more interesting to my mind. The bird who lied is, rightly, likely off to jug for doing so.
But that one-eyed fascist who claimed, on Question Timne, that such grooming gangs did exist – and we’re still going through the trials of hundreds of men who made up such gangs, they too are being rightly jugged – is still never mentioned and his claims are still held to be absurd.
Funny that, eh? Almost as if actual justice, rather that woke on thinking, isn’t wholly what everyone wants.
“that one-eyed fascist”
Can you narrow it down a bit?
“Can you narrow it down a bit?”
Was it Broon?

There’s more media reporting and outrage over this case than there is over actual ‘Grooming Gangs’…
In other words Jonathan, this PROVES that all these horrid claims of grooming gangs are lies.
Absolutely Boganboy! It’s all just a vile, racist conspiracy theory.
Am I alone in smelling a rat?
Not just the possibility that her claim is true, and the iron fist of the state is silencing an inconvenience…
More that she’s a patsy, set up to discredit ALL the grooming-gang rape claims.
Much the same way that Nick the Nutter, aided and abetted by Tom the Windbag (with parliamentary privilege) caused a massive Keystone Cop stage show to discredit the multiple Westminster child sex allegations. Job done.
Enough publicity on the fake, and anyone investigating the real allegations is laughed at and sacked.
Let’s watch how this NFL footballer story goes: dies of a non-vaccine issue, but the story will be faked as a ‘proof of vaccine harm’ story so that it can be ridiculed, and hence all the ‘died of Suddenly’ also ridiculed. So in a week’s time, this poor sod will be ‘proof’ that no-one ever died of the vaccine.
@ Tim the Coder
That’s a very convenient conspiracy theory there. And of course, some of those “string the b’stards up” camp will be happy to believe that rather than the possibility – well actually, legally fact – that the girl lied and the blokes she accused actually didn’t do anything wrong.
It’s a small town, and I’m pretty certain that a lot of people will never believe that the accused were innocent. But in the meantime, this girl had ruined the lives of those she accused.
Just think about that for a minute, you’re comfortable in your life, got a reasonable job, blah, blah. Then some bird you’ve never met or even heard of accuses you of these things.
For some people, just the accusation will cost them their job. But then there’s the “watch your back all the time” approach you have to take in case there’s someone behind you with a knife. You get bricks through your windows. Your business vehicles get vandalised. Basically your life is now sh*t for however long (in this case, several years) before – hopefully – the lie is found out and you are cleared. But you’ll never be clear of it – they’ll always be people like you thinking it was just a conspiracy and you really did do it.
@Some bloke on’t t’internet
Aye.
It’s not the specifics so much as the coverage.
Normally, “bint makes false rape allegation in get-rich-quick-scheme” wouldn’t get column inches. The narrative is ‘beliive the woman’, guilty by allegation.
This one does get mainstream coverage, despite being contra-narrative.
Why?
Some bloke:
That treatment would depend very much on the relative proportions of Asians and…I guess natives would be the word, in the town. If there’s enough Asians, the treatment may be the other way around.
Certainly we can’t trust the papers to report it accurately. Look at all the instances of proactive reporting of Islamophobia after all.
Town is apparently 55k people. So not London, but it’s not some village with more sheep than humans after all.

Odd that when its white blokes accused (falsely) of rape the press don’t give a fig, suddenly when its some brown blokes on the receiving end of some female sexual mendacity they get the full ‘How terrible it was for them’ routine.
