Facing the News: The sentencing of Eleanor Williams
Peter, Lucie and Nigel discuss the sentencing of Eleanor Williams, a 22 year old jailed for eight and a half years for nine counts of lying about being raped and trafficked by an 'Asian grooming gang' and making false rape claims against a series of other men. They discuss the many things we can learn from this including the way the narratives and assumptions around Rotherham may have been used to build public support for this false narrative.
