Sinn Féin's deputy leader has criticised a blog post which described Mairia Cahill's relationship with her alleged abuser as a "year-long sexual liaison".
On her Twitter page, Mary Lou McDonald described the claims - made by an anonymous blogger - as "shameful and cruel".
The blog post suggested Ms Cahill's alleged abuser would have been attractive to many 16-year-olds.
Its author is unknown, but it was shared on Facebook by Seamus Finucane - one of the people accused of participating in a "kangaroo court" to investigate her claims.
Ms Cahill has described this as "disgusting" and has again called on Sinn Féin to apologise to her.
