Elton John denies claims he groped bodyguard

Elton John has denied claims he repeatedly groped a decorated police officer who served in his security detail.

Jeffrey Wenninger, a captain in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), has accused the singer of groping him and making sexually suggestive comments towards him.

In legal papers filed in the US on Monday, the policeman said he received unwelcome attention from the married star in 2014. John issued a strongly-worded denial, saying the allegations were driven by money.
