Today’s true crime case is about Eleanor Williams a deeply disturbed woman who, in March 2023, aged 22, was jailed for a series of false allegations of rape against 4 men. Her stories were pure fantasy, she claimed to have been trafficked into sex work and even sold at an auction in Amsterdam. She posted pictures of herself with horrific injuries which she claimed had been the result of her being repeatedly beaten and raped. These were in fact injuries she had caused to herself, all part of her sick campaign to get attention. Some of her claims were clearly taken straight from Hollywood films, specifically Taken. However, unlike this tale of fiction there were real victims of Williams’ lies.
She accused 4 men of some of the most serious crimes imaginable, although they were all completely innocent. Some of the men she accused had only the briefest of interaction with her and one had not even met her.
Due to her lies, all of the men’s lives were ruined and 3 of them tried to commit suicide. One spent over 2 months in prison and another was section.
She accused both white men and Asian men of totally fabricated offences and her claims against the latter led to a wave of hate crimes against completely innocent Asian families and businesses in her home town of Barrow-in-Furness in the county of Cumbria in the UK.
Despite her lies being picked apart Williams remained defiant to the end.
