TV's Madeley warns Twitter trolls of prosecution after rape threats to daughter

Television presenter Richard Madeley warned Twitter trolls that “prosecution awaits” for making rape threats against his daughter after she stepped in to defend her mother’s controversial comments about rapist Ched Evans.

Judy Finnigan this week inflamed a debate about whether Evans should return to his footballing career by claiming his crime was “non violent” and did not cause “bodily harm” during a panel discussion on ITV’s Loose Women.
