PATRICK SPENCER Spencer, a British lawmaker from the Conservative Party, has been charged with two counts of sexual assault, authorities said on Tuesday.

The charges relate to two alleged incidents involving two women in August 2023 at the Groucho Club in central London.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the 37-year-old MP is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday, June 16, 2025.

Spencer was elected in the July 2024 general election to represent Central Suffolk and North Ipswich in eastern England.

His legal representatives said Spencer “categorically” denied the charges and would “defend the allegations robustly in court.”

A spokesperson for the Conservative Party said Spencer had been suspended with immediate effect and would no longer represent the party in Parliament.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the charges followed an investigation into the alleged incidents.

Last month, the Labour Party said it had suspended MP Dan Norris after he was arrested on suspicion of sexual offences against a girl and rape.

Peter Sullivan, wrongfully convicted for 38 years, finally freed in UK’s longest miscarriage of justice

Peter Sullivan, once labelled the “Beast of Birkenhead”, has been released from prison after serving 38 years for a murder he did not commit. The Court of Appeal quashed his conviction following the emergence of new DNA evidence, making Sullivan the longest-serving victim of a miscarriage of justice in British legal history.

Sullivan, now 68, was convicted in 1987 for the 1986 murder of 21-year-old Diane Sindall. He was 30 at the time and had consistently maintained his innocence. Despite two failed appeals, it was not until recent advances in DNA testing enabled fresh analysis of preserved semen samples from the crime scene that Sullivan was conclusively ruled out as the perpetrator.

Starmer, a former human rights lawyer, was criticised for claiming on Monday (12) that Britain risks becoming an "island of strangers" if his centre-left Labour government fails to cut net migration.
