A woman from the U.K. who falsely accused an “Asian grooming gang” of **** was found guilty of perverting the course of justice.

Eleanor Williams, 22, claimed she was groomed, trafficked and beaten in a Facebook post in May 2020.

The post, which included photos and was shared more than 100,000 times, prompted Tommy Robinson, the founder of anti-immigration group English Defence League, to visit her hometown of Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria to "investigate" her claims.

On Tuesday, a jury at Preston Crown Court found Williams guilty of eight counts of acts tending and intended to pervert the course of justice.

According to prosecutors, the photos of the injuries that Williams had posted on social media were self-inflicted with a hammer that police had recovered at her home.

Williams was accused of sending messages to herself and making them appear as if they were sent by traffickers or other victims. She would also pressure real people to send messages to her, which she would then claim to be from her abusers.

“The defendant goes online to her social media contacts and effectively finds random names on the internet she presents as being victims of trafficking or perpetrators,” prosecutor Jonathan Sandiford KC reportedly told the jury.
