A woman has appeared in court accused of fabricating text and social media messages making false allegations of rape, sexual exploitation and trafficking. Eleanor Williams, 19, of Barrow-in-Furness, is charged with seven counts of perverting the course of justice between October 2017 and October 2019. Jaime Hamilton QC, prosecuting, outlined a short summary at Preston Crown Court of the Crown's case, which he said involved 'a number of separate but connected incidents'. In a separate incident, she is alleged to have invented another account of sexual exploitation and trafficking. Williams is expected to enter her pleas in a hearing at the same court on November 23 or 24.
