Seems police now investigating the player twitter remark as it breaches anomity for victims. Good news surely the dangers is women would be reluctant in future to report rape crime especially it involves promenant people/celebs. If this sort mud slinging ensues even if the trial shows she was victim of rape.

It follows a complaint by a leading rape charity which said the alleged comments on Twitter were "disturbing".
Holly Dustin, director of the End Violence Against Women coalition, and Rape Crisis England and Wales, said: "It is profoundly disturbing that the victim in the Ched Evans trial has been named and abused on Twitter and other social media sites.
"It has long been law that rape complainants are protected by lifetime anonymity and those who have named her have been reported to the police for committing a criminal offence.
"This raises serious questions about the adequacy of the criminal justice system to deal with offences that occur online and we are calling for an urgent review of laws and practices."
