FORMER Tory MP Charlie Elphicke could spend time in prison after being found guilty today of sexually assaulting two women.
A jury at Southwark crown court unanimously returned the guilty verdicts for all three counts of sexual assault.
One count involved a woman in her early 30s at Mr Elphicke’s home in 2007, and two counts involved a parliamentary worker in her early 20s on two occasions in 2016. He had denied all the charges.
