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.
