Rape law review amid fears Ched Evans case might deter victims

The law protecting alleged rape victims from having to reveal details of their sex lives is to be reviewed by the Government amid fears it has been weakened in the wake of the Ched Evans case. Mr Evans, who plays football for Chesterfield and has been a Wales international, was acquitted of raping a teenager in a hotel room in 2011 following a retrial in October. Details of his accuser's sexual behaviour were disclosed in court following an "exceptional" ruling by the Court of Appeal.
