A man who wrongfully spentweeks behind bars after a woman made up a false allegation that he raped her has opened up about the severe PTSD he suffers from following his traumatic experience.

However, after his release, he continued to encounter abuse and came home to his windows smashed in and the word 'rapist' spray painted on his property.

Jordan, of Barrow, Cumbria, said he met Williams on a night out for the first time in Manhattan's night club during a night out with friends.

Jordan took a taxi back to a friend's house with another girl at
