Ex-MP weeps in court as he admits cheating on wife, but denies assault while chanting 'I’m a naughty Tory'
Charlie Elphicke is accused of groping a woman in her 30s before chasing her around his central London home chanting “I’m a naughty Tory” in 2007.

A former Conservative politician in the UK Charlie Elphicke broke down in court as he described being unfaithful to his wife, but denied sexually assaulting two other women.

Elphicke, MP for Dover between 2010 and 2019, said he tried to keep his affair with another woman secret from his wife because he did not think his marriage would survive.
