At the peak of lockdown, 19-year-old Ellie Williams claimed on social media she’d been abused and trafficked by an Asian grooming gang throughout the North of England. The rumours result in assaults on Asian males and companies in her hometown of Barrow-in-Furness. But then she was jailed for perverting the course of justice.
It was a narrative Sky News’ dwelling editor Jason Farrell, and specialist producer Liz Lane adopted in depth, and our podcast collection Unreliable Witness detailed what actually occurred to Ellie Williams.
Sky News Daily host Niall Paterson is joined by Jason and Liz to debate the most recent twist to that story.
