'...everyone had listened to Ellie's story, and now it is time for them to hear mine'
Locked up with a self-confessed paedophile, he could not understand how he, an innocent 18-year-old from Barrow, had come to be behind bars. Two months earlier, Jordan and some friends had been enjoying a night out in the town when they met with Ellie Williams in Manhattan's nightclub. They spent two hours with her, and then went their separate ways.
Jordan, who now lives in Ulverston, was held in a police station and questioned about Williams' accusations. He was released on bail, but that was not the end of it. A few days later he was arrested again, accused of attacking Williams a second time. On May 19, 2019, the police arrested Jordan for a third time after Williams claimed he had spiked her and raped her for a third time.
After 10 weeks in prison, Jordan's barrister made a successful bail application, and he was allowed to leave. But the teenager could not return home to Barrow. He was ordered to stay in Workington, more than 50 miles from home, and sign on at a police station every other day. Jordan began trying to rebuild his life and at the end of 2019 he met his partner, but his experience of prison tainted every corner of his life. He did not feel comfortable in public and was in constant fear he would be attacked or subjected to abuse. "My mental health was shot", he says.
"It was shocking", says Jordan. "I knew it must be more lies. I knew the extent she had gone to to lie about me and I tried to warn people but she had them all fooled. The Justice For Ellie campaign was horrible. They were driving from Barrow to where I lived in Ulverston. There were people doing Facebook Lives. You couldn't get away from it.
"I had to go to court to give evidence, which was nervewracking. The last time I had been in court I was being accused of something I hadn't done, and before that I had never set foot in a courtroom. But everyone had listened to Ellie's story, and now it is time for them to hear mine. Some of the evidence that came out was really shocking. I went along to hear the closing speeches and the defence team were saying things about me.
