Patrick Spencer MP has been charged in relation to two sexual assaults and had the Conservative Party whip removed.
The charges follow two alleged incidents involving two separate women which reportedly occurred at the Groucho Club in Central London in August 2023.
It is understood that Spencer was asked not to attend the parliamentary estate by the Tory Chief Whip Rebecca Harris whilst police inquiries were ongoing.
He was first elected for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich in July last year with a Conservative majority of 4,290. Labour came second in the constituency with Reform a close third.
A Conservative Party spokesman said: “The Conservative Party believes in integrity and high standards. We have taken immediate action. Patrick Spencer MP has been suspended from the Conservative Party, and the whip withdrawn, with immediate effect.
“The Conservative Party cannot comment further on an ongoing legal case.”
Frank Ferguson, the head of the CPS Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division, said: “Following a review of the evidence provided by the Metropolitan Police Service, we have authorised two counts of sexual assault against Patrick Spencer MP.”
Mr Spencer, 37, will appear at Westminster magistrates’ court on Monday, 16 June 2025.
