What happens when you are charged with a crime?

A man has told how his life fell apart after he was falsely accused of rape by a deceitful fantasist.

Jordan Trengove, 22, appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, available to stream on Flash, to share his horrifying story.

The then 18-year-old was arrested in 2019 after Eleanor Williams – who he had only met on a night out once – claimed he had drugged and raped her.

To back up her claims, she posted graphic pictures of her injuries on social media.

The British father-of-one was remanded into custody and sent to prison to await trial. He was locked up for 10 weeks on a sex offenders wing, sharing a cell with a paedophile.

“I was disgusted. I didn’t know what was going on. I just felt horrified, scared,” he told the Sky News Australia host.

“When I found out I was being sent to prison, I said to my mum: ‘I’m not gonna be coming out alive’”.

Jordan was eventually released from jail and his charges dropped after Williams’ lies were exposed. It turned out she had inflicted her injuries on herself.

Apart from Jordan, Williams had accused a number of other men of sexual assault.

She also claimed she and other young women had been raped and trafficked by “Asian grooming gangs”.

Despite his innocence, things got worse for Jordan.

His hometown thought he was a rapist. He was named in a newspaper and his house vandalised.

Jordan said the ordeal affected him mentally and physically.

“I don’t like leaving the house. I don’t like going out. I don’t have friends anymore,” he said.

“I didn’t want a relationship with my son when he was first born because I didn’t want him branded as a rapist’s son.

“It was just horrible had it all turned out.”

At one point, Jordan attempted suicide as Williams’ lies “destroyed” his life.

Jordan has since rebuilt his life and has credited his girlfriend, Kayla Leigh Wilkinson, for being with him though his darkest time.

“She’s been amazing,” he said.

“She’s been my absolute rock throughout it all.

“If it wasn’t for Kayla, I really do think I’ll be dead now because those allegations ruined my life.”

Earlier this month Williams was found guilty on eight counts perverting the course of justice, The Mirror reported.

She will be sentenced at Preston Crown Court in March.
