Nigella Lawson’s husband Charles Saatchi has admitted to assaulting her and accepted a “police caution” after British tabloids published shocking photos of Saatchi grabbing Lawson’s throat at a London restaurant.
The incident occurred on June 9 as the famed TV food personality and her advertising mogul husband of 10 years dined outside.
Eyewitnesses saw Saatchi put his hand around Lawson’s throat multiple times, and paparazzi cameras caught the violence and Lawson’s tearful departure.
Saatchi initially downplayed the situation as a “playful tiff,” but London’s Metropolitan Police now say he has been officially cautioned for assault after being questioned for several hours by law enforcement officials.
Under British law, such a “caution” carries no penalty, but can be used as evidence of poor character if the individual is later prosecuted for other crimes.
