Nine people have been fined after admitting revealing online the identity of a woman raped by the footballer Ched Evans. The woman's name was circulated on social network sites, including Twitter and Facebook, after Evans's conviction, at Caernarfon crown court, in April. Some of the defendants also launched abuse at the victim, calling her names including "money grabbing slut" and "poor little victim".
