  1. Worth reading to the end about Natalie Ephicke's actions On 22 July 2019, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced they had charged Elphicke with three counts of sexual assault relating to two women: one charge relating to an incident in 2007 and the other two in 2016. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 6 September 2019 and denied all three charges. In their statement, the CPS emphasised that Elphicke "has a right to a fair trial" and that "there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings". The Conservative Party again withdrew Elphicke's whip later that day. In October 2019 Elphicke appeared at Southwark Crown Court and was granted bail to return for trial on 29 June 2020. During his trial the court heard how Elphicke groped one of his accusers, chased her around his house, and sang "I'm a naughty Tory, I'm a naughty Tory." On 30 July 2020, Elphicke was found guilty on three counts of sexual assault. On 15 September, he was sentenced to two years in prison. He sought leave to appeal against the sentence, but this was denied in March 2021. He was released from HMP Leyhill in Gloucestershire on 14 September 2021 after serving half of his sentence. He was summoned back to magistrates court for non-payment of the £35,000 costs order awarded at his original trial; he claimed to be unable to pay, stating that “I have no job, I have no career, I am long-term unemployed,” and that he was living in a rented one bedroom flat and claiming Universal Credit. He was nonetheless ordered to pay £35,000 within a year towards the costs of the prosecution. In April 2022, Sky News reported that Elphicke was struggling to find new employment. His ex wife Natalie Elphicke and four other MPs (Sir Roger Gale, Theresa Villiers, Adam Holloway and Bob Stewart) were found to have breached their code of conduct by the Commons Select Committee on Standards for improperly trying to influence a judge, when they had signed a letter on parliamentary notepaper to the Lord Chief Justice pressing Mrs Justice Whipple not to disclose character statements in his trial at Southwark in 2021.

  2.  @Lousialee-hm3gu  How can you have 5 MPs be found guilty by the commons for tying to influence a judge, and not have them done for perverting the course of justice? One rule for them, one rule for others.

  3.  @Lousialee-hm3gu  A common defence from the left. She's admitted to an offence.
