Ched Evans trial: Government considers rape law change

A potential change in the law relating to rape cases will be considered in the wake of the Ched Evans case, the government has said.

The Chesterfield striker was cleared of rape at Cardiff Crown Court after a retrial on 14 October.

But Labour has condemned the decision to allow the jury to hear details about the sexual history of the complainant.

Attorney General Jeremy Wright told the Commons it was not "routinely used" in such cases, but there was "a concern" over the admissibility of evidence in rape trials.
