“I have received countless death threats”
Ramzan, who is a business owner, said: “I received countless death threats on social media from people all over the world because of what they thought I was involved in. ” Another male victim of the young woman was Jordan Trengove, whose house was spray-painted with the word “rapist”.
Trengove also had to spend 73 days in a jail cell with a sex offender. But things got worse in 2020. Trengove revealed, “Things had calmed down a bit until posting on Facebook in 2020. That made it even worse for me. There were large demonstrations and marches in Barrow. The lowest point was when I tried to end my life in August 2020.” He added: “Once something was said in Barrow, because it’s such a small town, it that’s all, it’s stuck with you for the rest of your life.”
According to reports, Oliver Gardner also became Williams’ target. He even had to be hospitalized under the Mental Health Act. “It was just a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This whole period of my life was totally overwhelming,” he said while adding that he had also attempted suicide.
“She continued to fabricate evidence”
In October last year, prosecutor Jonathan Sandiford KC reportedly said: “Unfortunately the fact that her lies and false allegations were exposed by the police in July 2019 did not cause her to stop. Instead, she continued to fabricate evidence to try to make her false claims that she was trafficked and sexually exploited seem true.
“The police investigated, as they were required to do, what Williams had alleged and they found none of it to be true. Police have established that her injuries were self-inflicted with a hammer which police recovered from fields near where they found her the night she did not return home,” Sandiford added. .
