A Belfast comedian has been criticised for making a rape "joke" about a woman who had recently spoken publicly about being the victim of a sexual assault.
Vittorio Angelone referred to content creator Rebecca Goodwin in a remark about rape which he made in a podcast episode in 2025.
Goodwin, who had previously reported a rape to police, said it will "forever live with me that it was allowed for my name to be used as the punchline of a malicious "joke" about such a serious issue".
