Ched Evans has distanced himself from anyone who names the woman who accused him of rape, in a statement on his website.
The Wales international footballer was acquitted of rape on Friday following a five-year battle to clear his name.
In a posting on chedevans.com, he said: “Following yesterday’s decision at Cardiff crown court I want to stress that I absolutely disassociate myself from anyone who names on any forum the woman in this case. Or makes any offensive comments about her.
“Everyone associated with the past five years now has the right to move on with their lives and I wish no ill will to anybody.”
The post was published as a former solicitor general expressed concern about some of the evidence heard in the trial.
