A woman who published a lurid account on Facebook of becoming the victim of an Asian grooming gang in the northwest of England has been convicted of perverting the course of justice.
Eleanor Williams, 22, posted pictures of her so-called injuries and gave an account of having being groomed, trafficked, and beaten. The post, in May 2020, was shared more than 100,000 times and a Facebook group, Justice for Ellie, was even set up in its wake.
