Unreliable Witness: Sky News podcast series about false grooming accuser takes prestigious award

A Sky News podcast series about a woman who was jailed after making false sexual abuse accusations has won first prize at the prestigious New York Festivals Radio Awards.

Unreliable Witness, which took gold in the investigative journalism podcast category, told the story of Eleanor Williams, who was sentenced to eight and a half years for lying about being groomed, trafficked and abused by an Asian gang in Barrow-in-Furness. Williams was 22 when she was found guilty of perverting the course of justice after a jury found that she had lied, fabricated evidence and inflicted wounds upon herself to support her claims.

She was jailed in March 2023. The series was spearheaded by home editor Jason Farrell and specialist producer Liz Lane, and produced by the Sky News podcast team.
