MP Patrick Spencer, the Conservative MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, has been found not guilty of sexually assaulting two women during a night out at London's Groucho Club. The verdict was delivered at Southwark Crown Court.
Details of the Case
The allegations stemmed from an incident at the private members' club in Soho. Spencer had denied the charges, and the jury acquitted him after deliberations. The specific nature of the alleged assaults has not been disclosed in court records.
Impact on Political Career
The acquittal clears Spencer of criminal liability, though the case had drawn significant media attention. As a sitting MP, the verdict may influence his future political standing. No further legal proceedings are expected.
