Campaigners
have slammed an 'unrepentant' statement put out by rapist footballer
Ched Evans after he walked free from prison today.
The
former Sheffield United striker was released from jail early this
morning after he served two and a half years of a five-year sentence he
was given for raping a 19-year-old girl.
But
an apparently unapologetic statement he later released in which he
continued to protest his innocence and thanked his 'thousands' of
supporters has caused anger among campaigners for victims of sexual
violence.
The row came as delivery men brought a bouncy castle to Evans's family home, just hours after his release.

Evans
released the controversial statement after he was whisked away from
Wymott Prison near Leyland in Lancashire in the early hours of this
morning.
The
statement read: 'Next week Ched will make a very personal and profound
statement by video which will be on his site and available for use by
the media should they choose to do so.
'Ched is now adjusting to normal life after serving a sentence for a crime consistently denied.
'Whilst we understand the media interest, we would respectfully request some privacy over the next few weeks.
