A 22-year old woman has been sentenced to eight and a half years after destroying the lives of three men, their families and their livelihoods, and sparking a wave of racially motivated hate crimes after fabricating claims the men sexually assaulted her – claims later proven to be unquestionably false.
Elanor Williams was found guilty of nine charges of perverting the course of justice.
However, the small town she lived in is still reeling from the very real impact that false sexual assault allegations can have on the lives of innocent people.
Background
In May 2020 – just at the start of the Covid pandemic, Elanor Williams posted photos of horrific injuries to Facebook – cuts, bruises, a blackened eye so badly beaten it was swollen shut and a severed finger.
