Conservative MP Patrick Spencer has been found not guilty of sexually assaulting two women at London's private members' club, the Groucho Club, and was seen weeping in court as the verdict was delivered. The case had drawn significant attention given Spencer's status as a sitting MP, and its conclusion clears him of the allegations that he groped the breasts of two women during an incident at the venue.

The prosecution had accused Spencer of assaulting both women without their consent at the Groucho Club, a well-known haunt for figures in media, politics and the arts. Following a trial, a jury cleared him of all charges, bringing an end to a case that had put his political career under scrutiny.
