JK Rowling: UK domestic abuse adviser writes to Sun editor

Interview with author's first husband unacceptable, says abuse commissioner

The government's lead adviser on domestic abuse has written to the editor of the Sun to condemn the newspaper's decision to publish a front page interview with JK Rowling's first husband, under the headline: I slapped JK and I'm not sorry."

In the letter seen by the Guardian, Nicole Jacobs, the independent domestic abuse commissioner, said it was unacceptable that the Sun has chosen to repeat and magnify the voice of someone who openly admits to violence against a partner".
