Black woman raped and tortured by white gang in U.S. now claims: ‘I made the whole thing up to get back at my boyfriend’
By David Gardner
A black woman who claimed she was kidnapped, stabbed, beaten and raped by a seven white people now says she made the whole thing up to get back at her boyfriend.
Megan Williams shocked America in 2007 with a list of accusations that strained the imagination: Four men and three women beat her with sticks, forced her to eat faeces, raped her and taunted her with racial slurs over several days in a ramshackle trailer in West Virginia.
But the suspects eventually confessed to their actions and pleaded guilty. All but one were sent to prison.

But now Williams is taking it all back, saying she lied in 2007 because she wanted revenge on a boyfriend who had beaten her.
The woman’s lawyer, Byron Potts, said she no longer wants to live a lie.
‘She told me the only thing not self-inflicted were the bruises on her face,’ Potts said at a news conference in Columbus, Ohio.
Williams, 22, who now lives with a caregiver, was in the office with Potts but she did not appear before reporters.

Williams’ lawyer, Byron Potts, tells reporters his client is recanting all of her allegations
Potts said she has received several anonymous phone calls from people threatening her life.
‘She is recanting the entire incident. She says it did not happen, and she’s scared,’ Potts said.
Seven white men and women were convicted in the case, in which Williams had also said that hot wax was poured on her and that two of her captors had forced her to drink their urine.
Police said the assaults occurred at a trailer owned by Frankie Brewster in a rural area of Logan County, about 50 miles from Charleston, West Virginia.
Williams was rescued after an anonymous caller alerted authorities.
Potts said that Brewster’s son, Bobby, was the boyfriend who had beaten Williams and that she had stabbed herself with a straight razor to help embellish the story of being tortured.
Prosecutors, who knew about the relationship even during the case, have dismissed Williams’ new claim.
Lawyers for the defendants would not discuss their plans.
Williams’ supporters were cautious about responding to the statement by a woman whose mother described her during the 2007 case as ‘slow’.
Potts urged prosecutors in West Virginia to re-evaluate the case and he said that Williams wants people convicted to be released from prison.
Brian Abraham, the former Logan County prosecutor who pursued the cases, said authorities realised early in the investigation that they could not rely on statements from Williams, who tended to embellish and exaggerate details.
Instead, he said, the seven defendants were convicted on their own statements and physical evidence.
‘If she’s going to say that she made it all up, that’s absurd,’ Abraham said.
‘This looks like another attempt to generate more publicity.’

Potts said he did not know why the defendants have pleaded guilty to something they did not do.
He said Williams is aware that she could face legal consequences for fabricating the story and that he wants to have her psychologically evaluated.
He said Williams told him certain people were controlling her and influencing her during the case. He did not elaborate.
In a January interview with The Call Post, a black newspaper in Cleveland, Williams acknowledged she had been mistreated but said her mother made her embellish the story for exposure and financial gain.
Williams told the newspaper that she was afraid of her mother, who knew some of the defendants.
Williams’ mother, Carmen Williams, died in June.
Potts said he did not know what role the mother might have had in fabricating the case.
Those convicted were Bobby and Frankie Brewster; Danny Combs; George Messer; Burton; and Burton’s daughter Alisha Burton and son Linnie Burton Jr.
Linnie Burton Jr. was the only defendant not to serve jail time.
He was convicted of a misdemeanor battery charge and given a six-month suspended sentence.
Abraham said none of the seven have appealed.
People who have supported Williams were guarded Wednesday.
‘We did have some concerns about what was being done at the time and how it was carried out by Megan and the family, because of her mental condition,’ said the Rev. Audie Murphy, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Logan and Boone counties in West Virginia.
‘We feel the legal system will handle it accordingly,’ Murphy said. ‘We didn’t rush to judgment then, and we’re not rushing to judgment now.’
