大象传媒

A blogger has told 大象传媒 Radio 5 live why she鈥檚 organised a campaign to raise money for the complainant in the Ched Evans case.

The footballer was found not guilty in a retrial of raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel room.

He was originally found guilty of rape in 2012, but that conviction was quashed in April.

The woman behind the fund doesn鈥檛 want to be identified, because she says she faces a backlash from online trolls . Instead, she uses the pseudonym Jean Hatchet.

Details of the woman's past sexual behaviour were heard during the second trial, a move criticised by some, including Ms Hatchet.

She told Adrian Chiles that she鈥檚 fundraising to show support for the complainant, after the disappointment that the complainant's sexual history had been brought up in court.

鈥淲hat she needs if a gesture of support from the British people. This is one final gesture of care from women, men and good people.鈥�
