station, where she asked a local man for a light for her cigarette. They had a brief consensual sexual encounter in an alley off Fishergate before parting ways.When detectives finally traced Williams, the lies came tumbling out. She claimed the traffickers had found her in Kendal and visited her at the hotel. They took her to Blackpool, where she claimed to have been driven around four different properties and forced to have sex with multiple men.
She gave police the names of around 60 women who she claimed were also victims of the gang, but when detectives went to speak to them they were met with confusion, as the women said they had no idea what Williams was referring to.Today Williams, of Teasdale Road, Barrow, was jailed for eight and a half years for perverting the course of justice.
Superintendent for Policing in Westmorland and Furness, Matt Pearman, said: “My biggest concern throughout this period has been that these false allegations would discourage genuine victims of abuse from coming forward to ourselves and our partners. “It is important to note that Williams allegations’ could not have been taken any more seriously when she initially came forward. A large-scale investigation was launched and those she made allegations against were arrested and interviewed.
“This has been a lengthy, complex and ultimately tragic case, as well as a dark period for Barrow. I hope that the full story, now it is in the public domain, will demonstrate that the police take allegations of sexual and physical abuse extremely seriously and will investigate thoroughly.“I urge anyone who has been the victim of sexual or physical abuse to report it today. You will be listened to and supported.
