The Issue

Ched Evans was convicted of rape in 2012 and is out on license. The terms of that license dictate that foreign travel above a certain time must be approved by the police. Ched Evans has been offered a contract in Malta at Hibernians FC. If Ched Evans is allowed to travel either long term or regularly in the short term it flouts the "robust" system on sex offenders the Conservative Party promised. 

Ched Evans has served just half his sentence, he has shown no repentance for his crime or any concern for his victim who continues to be hounded and traumatised. 

I expect our government to show a firm stance on rapists and their rehabilitation by insisting he stay and serve his time in the UK.
