MP Natalie Elphicke - who defected from the Tories to Labour - has apologised for comments she made supporting her ex-husband after he was convicted of sexual assault.
Charlie Elphicke was found guilty of sexually assaulting two women in 2020.
Some Labour MPs had raised concerns about her saying he was "an easy target" for false allegations because he was "attractive".
The Dover MP joined the Labour Party on Wednesday.
