Apology: Christopher Jefferies
Yesterday The Scotsman and other newspapers apologised in court for having wrongly suggested that Mr Jefferies was involved in the killing of Joanna Yeates.
We had also wrongly suggested that he had acted in an inappropriate, oversexualised manner with his pupils in the past and that he invaded
the privacy of his tenants in his capacity as a landlord of two flats.
We accepted in court that these allegations were untrue and that Mr
Jefferies had no involvement in Ms Yeates' killing.
In recognition of the distress caused, we have agreed to pay substantial damages to Mr Jefferies plus his legal costs.
