Ellie Wilson was a politics student at Glasgow University and champion athlete.

Who was raped.

Managed to record her rapist confessing to the crime.

Was subject to horrendous accusations during the trial.

Raised £3000 to pay for the trial transcript, and then used it to successfully prosecute the bigot who interrogated her during the trial.

Here's the story:

"The verdict was not unanimous," she said.

"You can literally have a written confession, an audio confession and not everyone on the jury is going to believe you. I think that says a lot about society."
Insane. Good for her for fighting like she did.
