MP Accused of Sexual Assault at London Club | London News
Description
An MP is on trial for allegedly groping two women at London’s Groucho Club in August 2023 — a case that’s shocked the public and raised questions about power, consent, and accountability. Prosecutors say he approached them, insisted they drink with him, then touched their breasts without consent — while he claimed it was “overfriendly” and not intentional. The women, unaware of his identity at the time, later recognized him through his Parliament photo. His defense denies touching them at all, blaming intoxication and miscommunication. The trial, delayed for months, now hinges on CCTV and witness testimony — as a newly elected MP faces the consequences of his actions.
