It's not pretty, I'll be honest.

Rape is bad, right? That’s just like one of those things that everyone agrees with. Rape is a bad thing, and typically, rapists in this country are held in the lowest ranks of society, rendered outcasts for the rest of their lives off the back of their horrible, unforgivable crimes.
Unless, of course, you’re a footballer. And not just any footballer - an OK footballer for Sheffield United. Turns out, if you’ve ever been in the PFA League One Team of the Year, you can still expect support – adoration, even – after your rape conviction. Football fans can be a weird bunch.
Today marks the release of Welsh international superstar Ched Evans – the ‘Rhyl Town Centre One’ – from Wymott Prison, and already, Twitter has been kicking off over it. Ched’s supporters, never the classiest bunch to start with, have been celebrating his ‘long walk to freedom’ like mad, even going so far as to call the day ‘Chedmas’.

Some have expressed well-wishes to Ched in their own roundabout way, and have sent him their love and kind words.
Ched Evans enjoy your FREEDOM…see you in the field and excited to cheers And shout GOAL EVANS….#freeched #chedevans release

Others have decided to show Ched in happier times, looking at ease during less eventful nights out.

One particular family decided to step the Chedmas festivities up a notch, and bake themselves a #FreeChed cake.

This tops it all though, by far. Some lad has shot down all the competition by getting ‘Free Ched’ tattooed on him. I have no words, to be honest. I’m done. I’m going for a lie down.

Presumably you've studied the facts of the case before writing an article on the subject? It's clearly one of the more borderline cases that has come to the public eye. The issue of drunken consent is a murky area of the law. Most intelligent people, who understand modern society (especially drinking culture amongst young people) recognise this. The jury found him guilty, that cannot be denied, but to not look at each case on it's merits is Daily Mail-reader-esque, and to cast anyone who has ever had a conviction of this kind on the scrap heap for life, would be foolish, especially if they have something to offer. Sadly we're in the age of the mob, where collective twitter outrage trumps moderate thought, so you may get your wish.
'borderline cases'? Wow... and here was me thinking when someone is so pissed - to the point of almost unconsciousness- that consent cannot in any meaningful way be given that it was a pretty clear cut case of rape. Still, I now understand that this a '... murky area of the law.' Alternative, maybe you're a rape apologist? Stay classy now...
So anyone who chooses to look at both sides is a rape apologist? Evans is scum. But you, Harry, are a grade A idiot. Let's just forget the trial and string em all up, shall we?
why dont everyone concentrate on the real deviants, ie the paedophiles. cases put in the media like this are just a smokescreen for the real degenerates,those in the upper echelons of our sick society. he done his time,unlike others,paedophiles, so why get on his case when there are so many others yet to be found
SABOTAGE
