IPSO upholds complaint of harassment against Sunday Mail
dailyrecord.co.ukMiranda Knight Brown complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation that the Sunday Mail breached Clause 3 (Harassment) of the Editors’ Code of Practice in the preparation and publication of an article headlined “Wife moves out to be near Rossi’s jail”, published on 2 April 2023.
The complaint was upheld, and IPSO required the Sunday Mail to publish this adjudication to remedy the breach of the Code. The article reported that the complainant – the wife of an “alleged rapist, who is facing extradition” – had moved address after her husband’s “latest bail bid was denied”.
It reported that the complainant “was seen carrying bags out of the” property, and was accompanied by two photographs showing the complainant outside a building.
