Story here. Excerpt:
"The son of former haulage boss Eddie Stobart yesterday told how his life had been made hell since he was wrongly accused of rape by a 15-year-old girl.
Edward Andrew Stobart, 19, said he had been beaten up and told to 'dig his own grave' following the case.
...
But although the prosecution was abandoned, she retains her anonymity, unlike Mr Stobart, who says he was attacked by a 15-strong mob at the weekend.
...
'Every time I go out I am shouted at and I have been spat at and called names like "Scum".
'I don't think it is fair that someone who accuses another of rape is given anonymity even if it is proven that it did not happen.'
The teenager is in hiding and says he cannot get a job because of the allegation. '
