The town has been 'put through the ringer'
Barrow has been put 'through the ringer' by the case of Ellie Williams' claims she was abducted by a grooming gang, local MP Simon Fell said.
The 22-year-old was convicted yesterday allegations. Others saw their windows put in. Or received death threats. Others still left town and have not returned. And trust in the police has been shaken.” In spite of the damage Williams has caused the community, Mr Fell said that he hoped that she receives “the help she needs”.
“It may be her stories that provided the fuel for this fire, and which have unleashed genuine hurt on people and the wider community, but at the end of the day, no person commits the kind of physical abuse against their own body that we saw in that first Facebook post, or fabricates the lies that she did, unless that are deeply unwell,” he said.
