'Pimped around Blackpool'
Mr Sandiford said Williams created a contact in her phone for his Snapchat username, but indicated he was involved in trafficking her.
Mr Sandiford said: "By the time she had finished with Liam Wood, he was no longer that young man working in Tesco.
"He was Shaggy Wood, an Asian male who was a drug dealer; a rapist; a ruthless trafficker of girls and young women and someone who, with Mohammed Ramzan according to this defendant, had been violent to her, had threatened to kill her and throw her in the sea at Blackpool, before pimping her around four houses in Blackpool with eight or more men on the same day."

'Fabricated message'
Williams was also said to have fabricated and manipulated messages and social media accounts.
The court heard a man called Liam Wood, who lived in Essex and worked in Tesco, was friends with Williams on messaging app Snapchat and used the nickname Shaggy, because his friends said he looked like the character from children's cartoon Scooby-Doo.

'Threatened to throw her in the sea'
In July 2019, the court heard, Williams reported a "horrific account" of a trip to Blackpool, where she claimed Mr Ramzan was violent and threatened to throw her in the sea, telling her she faced a test to see if she could be trusted not to go to police.
Officers made inquiries after she told them she had been "pimped out" around four addresses in Blackpool and made to have sex with eight men, the jury was told.
Mr Sandiford said: "What police found was the detailed account that the defendant had given was a pack of lies from first to last."
He said she had travelled to Blackpool alone and stayed at a hotel, where she bought a Pot Noodle and chocolate from a nearby shop then stayed in her room watching YouTube on her phone.

'Sold for 25,000 euros'
She alleged in 2018 Mr Ramzan suggested she travel to Amsterdam, where he put her to work in a brothel and then sold her at auction for 25,000 euros, although she was allowed to come home when the buyer could not make the payment.
The court heard that when police made inquiries into Mr Ramzan's whereabouts at the time of the alleged trip, they discovered a "more mundane" story.
Mr Sandiford said: "They found his phone did not leave Barrow on those few days.
"They looked at his bank cards and in fact, instead of acting as an international human trafficker in Amsterdam, he was buying things in B&Q Barrow and filling his car with petrol in Asda."

Jonathan Sandiford KC, prosecuting, said Williams claimed Mohammed Ramzan, a Barrow business owner known as Rammi, began a sexual relationship with her when she was 12 or 13 and groomed her to have sex with other men.
