Ched Evans' mother has confirmed her rapist footballer son has left prison and said she is 'glad to have him home'.

Helen Roberts tweeted a message today thanking supporters helping keep her family "strong".

The 25-year-old has been locked up in HMP Wymott near Preston, Lancashire, since 2012.

Mrs Roberts wrote: "Thank you to every single person that has supported, took abuse and argued for Ched and my family it really has helped keep us strong. xxx"

Glamour model Nicola McLean tweeted her to say "you must be so glad to have him home".

Mrs Roberts replied: "Yes I am. Thank you xx"

Evans was jailed after being found guilty of raping a 19-year-old waitress in a Premier Inn hotel room near Rhyl, North Wales.

He was freed this morning after serving half of a five-year sentence.

Right now, I can't think of any high profile sports people who've raped/violated the laws like this. But generally rape convictions result in harsh sentences. 10 years to life depending on the severity of the crime and death penalty for rape and murder.

But then again, there are politicians who have murder charges currently pending against them and nothing's happened so far :(
