A man found out where his wife's alleged rapist lived through Facebook, then travelled to his house and and beat him up, the Telegraph reports.

The alleged victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told her husband about the alleged 2001 rape by 27-year-old grocer Andrew Marsh in a conversation about their own relationship difficulties.

Her husband then arranged a surprise party via Facebook and got in contact with Marsh, finding out where he lived.

After beating up the alleged rapist, he presented his wife with a choice - either report the original crime or he would go to jail for assault.
