Though CCTV showed him approaching from behind and placing his arms around them, Spencer claimed he only meant to hug — later admitting his behavior was unacceptable but insisting any contact was accidental. Defense argued he struggles with social cues, though medical evidence on his “overfamiliarity” was excluded. Spencer, suspended from the party and sitting as an independent, broke down in tears after the verdict. The women involved said they were shocked. The Met Police apologized for a flawed initial investigation and pledged to overhaul procedures to better handle sexual offense cases.
