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.
Her claims led to increased community tensions in the town with local Indian restaurants having their windows smashed and other businesses being boycotted.
At least one Asian family who lived in the town and a local journalist who investigated her claims were forced to flee their homes after receiving death threats.
As well as lying about the Asian grooming gang, Williams had previously made a series of false rape allegations against local white men in Barrow-in-Furness and had already been charged by police with perverting the course of justice.
