Police have said they will not take any action over a tweet from trans rights activists which saw them pose outside JK Rowling's home, revealing her address.
The tweet included the group carrying placards targeting the Harry Potter author with slogans such as "trans liberation now", however Police Scotland confirmed it wouldn't be treated as criminal.
The 56-year-old had got in touch with officers following the photograph taken at her Edinburgh home in November but no criminality was established following enquiries, according to Edinburgh Live.
Rowling, who has been criticised for her views on the transgender community, said the photo made her a victim of 'doxxing' – the act of publishing private personal information about an individual or organisation, usually online, to enable others to take action.
At the time, she had tweeted in response to the activists, saying: “I have to assume [they] thought doxxing me would intimidate me out of speaking up for women’s sex-based rights.
“They should have reflected on the fact that I’ve now received so many death threats I could paper the house with them, and I haven’t stopped speaking out.
“Perhaps, and I’m just throwing this out there, the best way to prove your movement isn’t a threat to women, is to stop stalking, harassing and threatening us.”
The campaigners deleted the photo the day after it was posted, they said the decision was made after they received “serious and threatening transphobic messages”.
