A young woman has been jailed for eight and a half years after a court found she lied about being raped and trafficked by an Asian gang - and made false claims against a number of men.
The judge said 22-year-old Eleanor Williams from Barrow-in-Furness, known as Ellie - had shown "no significant sign of remorse" - after her claims, which went viral on social media - were proven to be "complete fiction".
Our social affairs editor Jackie Long reports - and be warned, there are distressing details from the start.
