Former Wales international striker Ched Evans was found not guilty of rape. Evans, who was released in 2014 after serving half of a five-year sentence for the alleged rape of a19-year-old woman in a hotel room in 2011, had his conviction quashed by the Court of Appeal last April. The 27-year-old, who was playing for Sheffield United at the time and is now at League One(third-tier) English club Chesterfield, said in a statement that he was “overwhelmed with relief” at the verdict.
