A woman who accused a Premier League footballer of rape has been bombarded with abuse since the case was dropped, police said.
Barnet Police said in a statement on Twitter that it was 'alarmed' to have been told that the woman was targeted after the force's decision last week to take no further action over one of the offences.
The force wrote: 'Following media reporting about the decision to take no further action (in relation to one offence) against a 29-yr-old man arrested in Barnet on 4 July on suspicion of rape, we've been alarmed to learn that the complainant in the case has been the subject of considerable abuse.
