A campaigner who is raising money for the woman who footballer Ched Evans was accused of raping, says the initiative aims to show the woman "kindness and solidarity".

Jean Hatchet, who writes under a pseudonym, told the Victoria Derbyshire programme she was asked to start fundraising by other supporters.

Mr Evans's 2012 rape conviction was quashed in April, and he was cleared last week of raping the 19-year-old.
