GoFundMe bans menās rights group that called rape victim a āskankā
Justice for Innocent Men Scotland was trying to raise money to make a documentary about its activities
A controversial menās rights group which described a rape survivor as a āskankā has been halted from fundraising for a documentary after it was ruled to be a ālegal defence of violent crimesā.
Justice for Innocent Men Scotland (Jims) insists that it is a legitimate campaign organisation which fights for āfair trials and against wrongful convictionsā.
However, it recently emerged that members privately usedĀ offensive and abusive languageĀ to describe Ellie Wilson, 28, who as a student covertly recorded her former boyfriend Daniel McFarlane confessing to raping her. Her evidence helped to convict McFarlane, who was jailed for five years in 2022.
Last month Jims launched an appeal, via the crowdfunding site GoFundMe, to create a āpowerfulĀ new documentary filmĀ that exposes the devastating humanĀ cost of wrongful convictions and calls for urgent reformā. It has now been shut down.
