The seven plead guilty to charges two years ago. Indeed, “former Logan County prosecutor Brian Abraham, who was in charge of the case, said no one ever went to jail because of Williams’ statements. Instead, Abraham said Tuesday night,...
... strikes out yet again. Not really surprising. Why does anyone pay attention to this race huckster? A troubled young woman whom the Rev. Al Sharpton championed as a victim of a horrific, racially motivated sexual assault now says she fabricated the incident -- despite the fact that all of her alleged attackers pleaded guilty and are serving jail time. Megan Williams, who is black, wasn't kidnapped...
The media circus started two years ago. State Police found Megan Williams at Bobby Brewster's trailer in Big Creek on Sept. 8, 2007.

wquatman posted a reply: [IF] the woman lied then and IS NOT lying now, then the system was flawed. Of course the woman would bare a major percentage of the responsibility, but a system which convicted [6 people] solely because one woman made a false claim, isn´t exactly working well. Yes, we have one of the best justice systems in the world. But, we one have the best democracy until wealth and...

A West Virginia woman who claimed to have been kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and tortured, for racial reasons, now has come clean. Megan Williams made the whole thing up.

It hurts my heart to learn that Megan Williams lied about the torture she experienced at the hands of seven hillbillies from West Virginia. This blog took up her cause in a major way two years ago.

She was supported in the process by her mom...
