MP on Trial for Sexual Assault Allegations | London News

A Member of Parliament faces trial for two counts of sexual assault after allegedly groping two women at London’s Groucho Club in August 2023. Patrick Spencer, newly elected and representing Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, admits to being “overfriendly” and “pissed” but denies any sexual intent, calling his actions a “moment of complete stupidity.” Both victims testified to being left shaken and frozen in shock, while Spencer’s defense argues his gestures were accidental and not predatory. The trial continues at Southwark Crown Court as public scrutiny mounts over the case of a politician caught in a moment of recklessness with serious consequences.
