## Resource

A Conservative MP, Patrick Spencer, was acquitted after a jury deliberated for over seven hours, finding him not guilty of sexually assaulting two women at the Groucho Club in August 2023. Despite CCTV footage showing him approaching from behind and touching their breasts, Spencer claimed the contact was accidental and that his gestures were expressions of embarrassment—not celebration. His defense cited social cue struggles, but the judge deemed that irrelevant. Spencer broke down in tears upon the verdict. The Metropolitan Police later apologized for an initially flawed investigation and implemented a new victim-centered policy following the case.
