Evans' lawyers comfirm appeal
Sheffield United and Wales footballer Ched Evans is to appeal against his conviction for raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel room, his lawyers said tonight.
In a statement posted on the Yorkshire club’s website, law firm Brabners Chaffe Street said that the 23-year-old striker, jailed for five years for the sex attack, “maintains his innocence” and would be appealing against the jury’s verdict.
