British prosecutors yesterday charged a former Labour Party member of parliament, Conor McGinn, with one count of sexual assault, following a police investigation into an alleged incident in July 2022.
McGinn, 41, was suspended as a Labour member of parliament in 2022 following a formal complaint and then sat as an independent MP until 2024 when he stood down from parliament at a national election. The Crown Prosecution Service said the allegation of sexual assault was made by a woman in 2022. Prosecutors had determined there was sufficient evidence to bring a charge.
McGinn is expected to appear in court next month.
