Summary
An MP’s downfall unfolds as Patrick Spencer, son of billionaire Michael Spencer and newly elected Conservative MP, faces trial for two counts of sexual assault allegedly committed in 2023 at London’s exclusive Groucho Club — charges that could cost him his seat or trigger a by-election. Pleading not guilty, Spencer now sits as an independent after being stripped of his party whip. The trial, set to last 4-5 days, carries serious political stakes: a year or more in prison means automatic disqualification, while a lighter sentence could spark a recall. The Crown Prosecution Service confirms the case is active and urges against prejudicial commentary. The Groucho Club’s celebrity pedigree adds weight to the drama as the nation watches.
