Three men attempted suicide after woman’s false accusations of rape and grooming, court hears
Three innocent men tried to take their own lives after they were falsely accused by a fantasist who claimed to be the victim of rapists and a grooming gang, a court heard.
Eleanor Williams, 22, prompted hysteria in a Cumbria town after accusing a number of men of rape and posting an account on Facebook in May 2020 which alleged she had been the victim of an Asian grooming gang.
The allegations made by Williams, who was found guilty of perverting the course of justice earlier this year, led to protests in her hometown of Barrow-in-Furness which were attended by Tommy Robinson, Preston Crown Court heard on Monday.
‘Allegations made my life hell on earth’
On the first day of her sentencing hearing, Mohammed Ramzan, a business owner who was baselessly accused of grooming Williams, told the court his life had been made “hell on earth” by the allegations.
Mr Ramzan, who was in tears as he spoke from the witness box, said two weeks after he was arrested following Williams’ claims he attempted to take his own life.
