Southwark Crown Court

Globetrotting Martin Sargeant, 53, spent the money on a lavish lifestyle and travelling the world, Southwark Crown Court heard.

Elphicke was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault following a trial at Southwark Crown Court back in July this year.

Elphicke was on trial accused of groping one woman in his home in 2007, and sexually assaulting a second complainant, a parliamentary worker in her early 20s, twice in 2016. The jury spent almost exactly two days in retirement before reaching a verdict.
